Since 1887, when Charles Brush began construction of the world's first electricity - producing windmill in Cleveland, Ohio has been contributing to the growth of the wind power industry. EMTEC helps to create a path from innovation to commercialization with concise project management and technical expertise. Through partnerships with Ohio Department of Development and the Ohio Wind Working Group, EMTEC provides stable support for companies to pursue commercialization of their turbine designs while also creating opportunities for companies to sell parts in the broader wind energy supply chain.

 Since the advent of wind energy, the cost per kwh to generate electricity from large wind farms has over time become very competitive with conventional fossil fuel powered electricity supplies. While much of Ohio would not be considered a great wind resource, Lake Erie is among the best spots in the nation to harness the wind. Many systems are located off-shore since wind over water is generally higher velocity.
