SWiFT performs accredited research testing for both collaborative and highly proprietary projects with industrial, governmental, and academic partners. Two of the site’s three Vestas V27 turbines are funded by EERE; the third was installed by Vestas R&D of Houston, TX. Vestas invested in the site to develop a technology accelerator to rapidly and cost-effectively facilitate marketplace innovation.
