Barre, Vt., wind turbine maker Northern Power Systems said Thursday it has named Parthiv Amin president of its community wind business.
Amin comes from Winergy Drive Systems, a U.S. subsidiary of German turbine drivetrain powerhouse Siemens Corp., where he was president. In his new role, Amin will lead Northern Power’s sales and product development in its community wind business, led by the company’s Northwind 100, a 100-kilowatt turbine.
Community wind is poised to be a growing market in New England, with turbines constructed on schools, government buildings or commercial property. States such as Connecticut and Massachusetts offer financial incentives to groups looking to construct these types of turbines, and Massachusetts has announced plans to build turbines on state property along the Massachusetts Turnpike and at wastewater facilities.
