ASA's wind energy expert, Daniel MendelsohnApplied Science Associates (ASA) last week announced that it has been tapped to lead a technical and economic feasibility study for the possible construction of the town of South Kingstown’s first utility-sized wind turbine.

ASA will lead a team of subcontractors, including Loria Emerging Energy Consulting, GZA Geo-Environmental, Maguire Group, Sustainable Energy Advantage and Rich Gross Electrical, on the project.

ASA Senior Principal Daniel Mendelsohn spoke with Providence Business News about that project, the return on investment and a similar project in Jamestown.

"In places like Rhode Island, it's not like Oklahoma or Iowa, where there are wide open spaces. There are a lot of people, a lot of development everywhere, so you have to be really careful about how you place these things so they don't unduly impact any residents," said ASA Senior Principal Daniel Mendelsohn.
