Foundation Windpower, Inc.

Foundation Windpower, LLC — Menlo Park, California — builds wind turbine generators on-site at businesses facing large energy demand and high energy costs. We finance, build, and maintain our turbines at no cost to our customers, and help our customers control costs by selling the electricity generated by the turbines directly to them at a price below utility rates. Our customers include mines, quarries, distribution centers, agricultural processing facilities, water treatment facilities, and other large energy users looking to save money through renewable generation.  Foundation Windpower offers Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) at either a fixed price or a discount indexed to remain a fixed percentage below utility rates. This allows our customers to choose the solution that best meets their operational and financial planning needs.  Wind power offers a renewable resource that dramatically reduces hydrocarbon emissions while decreasing America’s dependence on foreign oil. Hosting an on-site wind turbine is a visible symbol of environmental stewardship and a demonstration of a commitment to American energy independence.  Net Energy Metering laws make our projects feasible even if a customer’s operation does not run 24 hours a day. When turbine generation exceeds customer demand, or if energy is generated when a customer facility is not running, the excess energy runs back into the grid, and the customer receives a credit from their utility. Conversely, when the wind is idle or customer demand exceeds turbine production, the customer buys grid power as usual, or a combination of grid and turbine power. Our customers’ operations face no power disruption from our wind turbines; the wind turbines and grid operate seamlessly in parallel.

Foundation Windpower creates an immediate and sustained reduction in energy costs while delivering 100% renewable electricity through long term power purchase agreements. Customers include cement plants, mines, food processors, manufacturers, refrigerated warehouses, data centers, water treatment plants and utilities where Foundation Windpower deploys utility-scale wind equipment in configurations up to 25 MW.
