The Governor's Energy Office (GEO) provided matching grants to three electric cooperatives and one municipal electric utility to provide rebates for small wind to their local businesses and residents. The GEO established some basic rules but gave the participating administrators flexibility to modify their programs to best suit their customer's needs. In general, rebates will be limited to the first 10 kW of a system and may not exceed 50% of the installed system cost. Recipients of the incentive must also meet some basic efficiency requirements designed by the participating administrators. The participants providing small wind rebates at this time are:
