- Provides training for wind turbine technicians at MTI
- Local economic development is boosted
About renewable
These projects create the infrastructure needed to generate renewable energy harnessed from natural resources like the sun or wind. Once these sources are in place, they become a permanent source of clean energy.
How it works
- Project Developer and community stakeholders invest in the project to fund it's installation
- Local college grads and community members are provided jobs to run and maintain the wind turbines
- The electricity generated from the tubines is fed to the local energy grid, displacing the need for fossil fuel generated electricity
Proof of Carbon Accounting
To ensure transparency, Green Story Carbon Registry tracks issuance and retirement of carbon credits for all projects on the Green Story offset platform.
