Clipper Windpower designs and manufactures utility scale wind turbines incorporating two key innovations that are expected to reduce O&M costs by 20% by 2006. The Distributed Generator (D-GEN) is a modular drive train assembly designed to be lighter weight and therefore less costly to raise and lower for maintenance than current technology. The extensible ventilator is a telescoping blade that will reduce inertia to capture additional energy in low wind conditions.

Clipper offers a new design which includes a unique and powerful combination of management and technical talent, along with breakthrough technology and substantial project development resources. Their mission is straightforward - to produce lower cost of energy wind turbines with greater operating efficiencies and to develop and operate wind-generating facilities exceeding 10,000 megawatts by 2010.

At a technical level, the Easenergy expert has assisted in implementation of the first test turbine. The technical partnership has begun to seed commercial interest from the EDF Group.
