E4G develops wind projects with the interests of the land owner at the fore.

Our founders recognize that the first investor in any wind project is the land owner. Through generations of toil and hardship, most land owners are stewards who have held our most valuable national asset in safe keeping. E4G respects and acknowledges the depth of that commitment. Our very name speaks to it: we too are land owners.

The combination of low overhead and the agility to focus on specific projects allows Energy for Generations to develop wind power portfolios at lower cost than our competitors. In the long run, every project must demonstrate the ability to make money: lowering the development costs helps ensure a financial success. Mr. Ferrell's access to experienced specialists, like those that built the Elk River Wind Farm, sets us apart. His view of an operating wind farm is an inspiration to build more.

Energy for Generations does not take a scatter-shot approach to wind farm development. Our competitive advantage is our ability to distinguish viable projects from a strategic perspective. We bring focus to the table. This means that if E4G approaches a land owner, we have already done our homework. Landowners can be assured that we are serious about developing a finished project on their property. We have no interest in tying up large tracts of land to let them sit undeveloped.
