01
Site Selection &
Preliminary Design
The first step towards a wind project is identifying areas with capacity to hold more energy on the electrical grid. We seek to develop on land with minimal impacts on the environment.
02
Stakeholder Outreach
Next, we work alongside landowners and the community to lease land with the best potential to generate electricity from wind turbines. Enerfin engages with the public through open houses to inform residents and officials on the project and answer all questions.
03
Environmental Studies
Enerfin coordinates with federal, state, and local agencies to study the presence of habitat and wildlife to ensure the project will avoid or minimize any impacts.
04
Permitting
Enerfin will adhere to all federal, state, and local permitting guidelines and work closely with local officials and stakeholders to address questions and concerns to responsibly permit the project.
05
Final Engineering & Construction
Enerfin uses the study results to finalize a project layout before entering into the 9-12 month construction period. Over 400 new jobs may be created during construction.
06
Operation & Maintenance
As a long-term owner and operator, Enerfin's local team of technicians will keep a close eye on the facility during the approximately 30 years of operations.
07
Decommissioning & Land Restoration
At the end of the wind farm's useful life, the turbines will be completely removed. The land will also be restored to its original condition.
