Customers of renewable energy electricity can have their name etched on a wind turbine in California. The Adopt-A-Wind Turbine Program is open to all flat rate plan customers of TenderLand Power Company who want to have their name placed on one of the towers being installed as part of the Alta Mesa Wind Energy Project in Palm Springs. The 10 megawatt expansion of the wind project will result in the installation of 70 turbines.
TenderLand will allow the customers of its flat rate plan to access information through a Web site regarding the construction status of each “adopted” turbine. Real time energy production information will be provided for each unit once the project is placed in service next June.
“TenderLand’s flat rate plan customers have chosen renewable power without the specter of future rate deferral obligations for their electric service looming in the future,” said the company’s chief financial officer Ken Keddington. “By doing so, they have helped foster the development of new renewable energy projects in California.”
TenderLand provides electricity generated from 100 percent renewable resources in most of California. “Many of our customers have a genuine interest in learning more about renewable power generation, and linking these customers with specific wind turbines installed for our power projects provides a more identifiable, real world understanding between the TenderLand customer’s electric service and the actual source of their renewable power,” Keddington said. “We feel that it is important for our customers to understand the environmental impact of electric power generation and wish for this knowledge to be an integral part of their TenderLand Power electric service experience.”
