Brewerton, NY (November 19th, 2009) – Alternative Power Solutions of NY (APS), a distributor and installer of renewable energy systems, has been awarded several contracts to install wind turbines to central New York farms and businesses over the next several months.

In an era when small farms are forced to pay high prices of feed, paying a higher electricity bill is one thing these farms will no longer have to worry about, after they’ve installed a renewable energy Wind Turbine system. Thanks to a new 10kw Bergey Windpower turbine installed by Alternative Power Solutions, a family rural farm in New Haven, NY will be taking advantage of the high winds of Oswego County to reduce their energy bill by 90-100%.

“This tells only one part of the story” says Owen Pugh, President of Alternative Power Solutions. “It’s the attractive federal and state renewable energy incentives that make this program affordable to struggling farms, and New York state businesses. Incentives that will allow farms like New Haven, to pay off the wind turbine in 3-4 years.

These incentives involved are:

1.) NYSERDA (New York State Energy research and development authority) will pay $28,360 for this project and an additional 20% ($5,672) because, they are a farm.

2.) The federal government offers a 30% tax credit, and the USDA REAP program offered an additional 25% Post-installation grant.

"Central NY farms are critical to our region’s meat, dairy and fresh produce demand” says Owen Pugh. “Providing economic incentives and renewable energy systems to our customers designed to them save money on energy bills while helping the environment, is the core value Alternative Power Solutions brings to our region”.
