In a national program, Wind People will estimate the number of wind turbines a given country needs to establish per year until 2030 in order to utilize the full potential of its wind resources, or cover 50% of its expected energy demand in the future.

In large countries with good wind potential this concept might demand the establishment of up to 2000 turbines per year.

Through its national programs, Wind People offers to set up, run and maintain the expected amount of turbines through its national programs on a yearly basis, depending on the extent turbine producers can meet their delivery schedules.

The scale of these programs makes it necessary to negotiate financing schemes with both governments and international investment banks.

A national program, however, is very profitable for the government of a developing country, since governmental investments needed are only 20% of the total investment for the first and second years’ number of turbines. The investments necessary for the remaining turbines until 2030 will be carried out through a combination of Wind People investments as well as investments from international investment banks. As a result, the government involved achieves a significant expansion of its electrical grid, based on indigenous energy resources, thus boosting the country’s opportunities for growth. In addition, the government receives a yield from the rate of interest on its investment. The most significant advantage and beauty of the Wind People concept is, however, the fact that the full profit from all turbines are going to be used for what is unquestionably one of the top priorities for a government: to ensure high-quality education for the poorest children of that country.

In developed industrial countries, a different financing model is introduced.

In these countries, Wind People engages the population, companies and municipalities involved to take responsibility for their own electricity consumption by making them investors in the wind turbine shares that are equal to their own electricity consumption.
