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.
