Every day I hear from some of you wondering when certification of small wind turbines will begin.  Consumer demand for small wind turbines has never been greater and reputable manufacturers are looking for a third-party label showing their turbines have been tested and giving information for consumers to compare their turbines with others in the marketplace. 
 
I am pleased to report that the Small Wind Certification Council (SWCC) is moving forward with the launch of our certification program.  We have hired staff and are developing the policies and procedures necessary to certify small wind turbines.  In this e-mail, I will give you information on the certification launch schedule, announce a meeting where you can give input on the Certification Policy, and update you on the status of the AWEA turbine standard.
 
Please contact me if you have any questions or comments.
