The Green-e program is run by the Center for Resource Solutions

Research and Development ProgramWind Assessment Project

Green Power EMCs have been testing the possibility of using wind power at the Rocky Mountain Pump Storage facility in Floyd County.

The test site is located atop Oglethorpe Power Corporation's Rocky Mountain Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Plant in Floyd County, Ga.

Monitoring Project

Green Power EMC contract in May 2005 with Airtricity for Rocky Mountain Site wind study

Goal of study was to determine the feasibility of wind turbine installations at Rocky Mountain

Meteorological Tower (“Met Tower”) erected July 2005 24 months of data reached in June 2007, provided basis for initial

wind report - estimated long-term wind speed at a turbine hub height of 80 meters (260 feet) is 5.72 meters/second or 12.8 miles per hour

Continue to search the turbine manufactures for a cost effective, low speed wind turbine that could be used at the site to yield a higher capacity factor

Bottom line – This project is completed; for now wind is not an option in Georgia

Go Green Power GPEMC offers a renewable

program to elementary and middle school students

Go Green Power helps students discover the differences between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources

Go Green Power always helps students understand the importance of conserving energy in their homes

Research and Development Program

Sun Power for Schools educates students about renewable energy and its impact on the environment.

We are partnering with local middle and high schools to install a 1 kW grid-tied photovoltaic system to harness the energy from the sun and provide on-line data monitoring to the classroom.

This represents the first statewide academic program to showcase the benefits of solar energy.

The first installation was at Irwin County High School on August 18, 2005.

33 schools participate in this program

Wind Power for Schools ARC Grant for installations of

two wind towers at two schools in Appalachian Mountains

Equipment is ordered Complete installation October,
