Why Western Community Energy?

WCE is a firm that has a wealth of experience, knowledge, and expertise at all points within the energy value chain.  We know how energy projects are assessed, designed, permitted, constructed, and operated.  We understand the complex regulations associated with selling and moving energy.  WCE has the industry experience to handle any situation that may arise during the course of your project.

• Complete •

WCE is structured to provide complete turn-key project development services from initial go-ahead to commissioning, pre-development services that add value to your project before selling it to a 3rd-party developer, and lease negotiation services to squeeze as much value from your large-scale wind project as possible. 

WCE has direct experience with every facet of a wind project's assessment, planning, financing, engineering & design, permitting, procurement, contracting, and construction oversight.  Additionally, we offer contract administration, O&M, and remote monitoring services.

• Local •

WCE has a distinct belief in the value of locally-owned wind projects, and our goal is to maximize the value to you and the local community.  As the wind energy industry continues its sustained 30+% annual growth rate, the vast majority of national wind developers are focused on projects in excess of 100 MW.  Subsequently, smaller, locally-owned projects have either been priced out of the marketplace or forgotten.  WCE serves this vital community wind market by working with our customers to maximize local ownership in small (50 kW - 10 MW), medium (10 - 50 MW), and large (50+ MW) projects.

• Wind •

Wind energy is our passion.  It offers benefits to people, the land, the environment, and rural economies through cost-effectiveness and a natural sensibility that no other modern energy resource can match.  The WCE Team has been in the power business for over four decades, and we’ve made the conscious choice to focus our efforts on making wind work for you and your community.
