Wind Technologies Available for Licensing

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory is the leader in developing wind energy technology that enhances domestic economic opportunities and environmental benefits. NREL researchers create advanced utility-scale and small distributed wind systems that can operate cost effectively in the lower wind speed regions located closer to the load centers. A number of NREL's wind technologies have been patented and are available for licensing.
