Department Description

The Project Planning and Technology (PPT) department focuses on project development. PPT completes all the studies and compiles the reports necessary to sell projects and make them shovel ready. This includes wind resource, financial modeling, initial and detailed evaluations. PPT also implements and monitors the networking systems for the projects, as well as office IT on the side.
