Hi Graham:
The turbines on the link you provided would be great if you
were to us them for off-grid application, but if you were to
go with the co-op idea, the co-op would be the one to tie
into the grid, and that cost would come out of the maintenance
cost of the turbine that you invested in. The co-op should
use turbines of 500 kw or larger because of the efficiency, and
it will make better use of the land, and less likely to kill raptors
because the blades turn slower. Here is a link to a turbine that
is 450 kw, and it is going for $208,450.00 U.S..

I believe that would work out to be $463.00 per kw, so you might buy
10 kw, $4630.00, worth of shares in the turbine. Not bad, and a small percentage
would go to maintenance, and all other b.s..
