Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: On-campus wind energy is a strategy often considered by institutions in plans to reduce carbon emissions, hedge against volatile energy costs and meet renewable energy goals. However, such projects can be far more challenging than one might expect at first glance. In this paper, the presenter will discuss his experiences with what is likely the longest-running incomplete university wind project in the country (going on eight years). A successful wind energy project requires good wind resources, access to the necessary up-front capital, community engagement, a well-managed procurement process, intelligent siting and planning, and most importantly a high degree of commitment from senior campus administrators. Virtually all of these elements have been missing in our wind project. The presenter will walk through the project planning and development process for a wind turbine installation, and use this project as a case study to point out potential pitfalls to others that may be considering such projects. Additionally, the authors will discuss the importance of such projects, and how a deft touch and student engagement can keep such projects going despite the many obstacles they face.
