Unincorporated Linn County was recently designated a Small Wind Innovation Zone by the Iowa Utilities Board.
The designation allows owners of small wind energy conversion systems (100kW or less) to take advantage of an expedited local approval process and a streamlined interconnection agreement with rate regulated electrical utility providers. The streamlined interconnection agreement makes it easier for homeowners with a small wind turbine to connect to the grid and take advantage of existing programs that may be offered by their utility providers to reduce their monthly energy costs.
