Organizational schemes for promotion of wind power https://www.niso.org/standards/z39-96/ns/oasis-exchange/table"> Type Characteristics Remarks Conclusions Individually owned turbines Modem phase of wind power started in 1970s, especially in Denmark The pioneering wind development in Denmark was supported by small and low cost turbines owned by individuals Individual ownership of local wind turbines reduces opposition to wind power Co-operative ownership A joint investment from local households and farms in one or more turbines Co-operative ownership has permitted local households to join investments in larger and more costly turbines Co-operative ownership of local wind turbines reduces opposition to wind power. Wind power developers Electric utilities and private companies have acted as developers in relation to wind farms With the introduction of large wind farms the need for developers with a strong capital basis is increasing In order to avoid local opposition, wind power developers should co-operate with local interests and secure local economic advantages
