Helix Wind enters distribution agreement with Synergy California for small wind vertical axis turbines

Helix Wind, Corp. has entered into a joint distribution agreement with Synergy California LP for the deployment of small wind vertical axis turbines designed, developed and manufactured by Helix Wind.

The first major project with Synergy California will deploy 25 Helix Wind S594 Systems providing alternative energy to the Oklahoma Medical Research Facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The choice to deploy Helix Wind vertical axis wind turbines over horizontal technologies continues to prove to be the best solution and a significant advantage in turbulent wind conditions to capture and produce the best possible energy output. When combined with federal, state and local tax incentives and rebates, they also deliver a significant return on investment advantage over other horizontal wind-based solutions.

“The strategic distribution agreement with Synergy California moves small wind into the mainstream of new urban development projects by providing efficient electrons with an elegant esthetic view,” said Helix Wind Chairman & President Scott Weinbrandt. "Providing a solution to reduce the cost of traditional carbon based fossil fuel is a huge step forward in reducing carbon footprint in major cities. The deployment of Helix Wind turbines in support of a major research center in an urban setting is a key milestone for us, and we're proud to be a renewable energy solutions provider to the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation.”

Synergy California CEO Reinhold Ziegler commented, “Using Helix Wind’s S594 small wind turbine system will significantly reduce traditional fuel costs and provide a renewable energy foundation for facilities such as OMRF. The 185,000 square feet laboratory adds additional space to the existing research campus. This facility will become Oklahoma’s second gold-certified LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building and first research lab. When the project is completed, 25 S594 wind turbines will be integrated into ducted-shrouds of the building. This is the first micro-wind farm on a building in the world.”
