Louisiana's First Wind Farm-A Start-Up Story


We are very familiar with our winds in Louisiana, they create the tides that affect our seafood industry and recreational activities. Now we can put those winds to good use.

Bill Gallardo, along with partners John Treen, Sr, and Larry Favalora have started Southern State Renewable Energy and are developing the first wind farm in Louisiana, located in St. Mary Parish.

And this is no small undertaking. Regulatory, permitting, construction cost are just a small sample of the hurdles that they have overcome and are still facing.

In addition to this seemingly insurmountable challenge, two local film makers are documenting the drama and stress of creating an industry changing business (see post "Film makers document wind farm start-up")
