The Business Behind Wind Farms

Have you ever been driving down a major high way and you notice the huge white structures that have three big prongs that jet out in different directions? These structures resemble that of a gigantic fan. The wind blows the prongs around in circles. Have you ever wondered what the purpose of those huge “fans” is? Those are the turbines that are placed strategically to harvest the energy that is created by the wind. The wind propels the turbines around in circles and this conducts energy that can be used by a community.

Wind farms can consist of anywhere from a handful of turbines, to a couple hundred turbines depending on the effectiveness of the harvesting efforts. There is a business that is behind the wind harvesting that is a result of the wind farms. There are tons of companies that purchase the land in high wind traffic areas, and invest heavily in the growth and implementation of the turbines in specific areas. These companies work tirelessly to harvest the energy that is created by the wind farms. The industry reels in billions of dollars every year. The world is looking to find new and innovative ways to create energy on a consistent basis. Wind is an expendable commodity because it will never run out. Unlike oil and other materials that are finite, wind will always be a productive investment. The wind farm companies harvest the energy that is created by the wind and then they sell it to people and companies. This can yield billions of dollars in one sale if the company is in need of a new supplier of energy. The wind farming business is highly efficient and fast paced in regards to the sales cycle and reproduction of energy. Some of the most well known companies that produce wind farm turbines include Vestas, Sinovel, GE Energy, Ming Yang, and Enercon. The manufacturers are located all over the world in Denmark, China, Germany, the US, India, etc.

While there are many ways to harvest and create energy, one of the most reliable ways to create reproducible energy is through the use of turbines on wind farms. The world will never run out of wind, so it is a great way to increase the amount of energy for individuals and companies across the world. Wind farms are a multi billion-dollar business that has no end in sight.
