Wyoming County holds many opportunities to be an energy producer, rather than solely a consumer. This means there are many different types of potential and currently utilized energy available within the boundaries of the county from wind and solar to biofuel-related and natural gas types. The energy generated from these sources can be sold back to the grid, thus making the region more sustainable and providing a profit for local energy producers. The region already has a comprehensive network of wind farms which generate electricity that is bought by the local electric grid. The area’s rolling hills and windy weather are an ideal topography to site productive wind farms.
