True or False: Distributed wind energy projects only use small wind turbines text over image of Capitol Building in D.C.

How much do you know about distributed wind energy? ?? Test your knowledge by taking the quiz offered by the Strategize, Engage, Network, Deploy Distributed Wind (SEND) project .

True or False: Distributed wind energy projects only use small wind turbines.

Answer: False! Distributed wind energy projects are not limited to a specific turbine size or capacity; however, distributed wind projects are comparatively smaller than utility-scale wind farms. In other words, small wind turbines are almost always deployed in distributed wind applications, but distributed wind energy projects do not always include small wind turbines.
