Announcements (Updated 3/8/11)
We have officially selected a location for the current tower. We will be working with the Augusta County Service Authority to place the tower on the Augusta County Landfill. Unfortunately this means that currently we have no more towers available at this time. Those who had submitted applications should be expecting an email in the near future to discuss next steps and the future opportunities with the program. If you have any questions please call Kenny Howell.

The Virginia State-Based Anemometer Loan Program is designed to empower landowners by generating their interest in wind energy through the borrowing of meteorological towers and encouraging wind development.
James Madison University will be accepting applications to participate in the State-Based Anemometer Loan Program (SBALP). SBALP is designed to spur the development of wind power in the state of Virginia by helping potential wind turbine users quantify their wind resource. Applications are currently being accepted. To participate in the program download, fill out, and mail in an application.
