"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

A local cooperative is testing the water for wind power, and will loan its tester out to co-op members when it is done.

"We’re doing this to educate the members," said Rollie Miller of Hill County Electric Cooperative.
Hill County Electric installed an anemometer next to its office west of Havre on Dec. 11 to measure the wind. Miller said that after the wind is measured at the site for nine to 12 months, the co-op will decide whether to install a turbine to provide power at the office.

Once the co-op is done testing the wind, it will loan the anemometer out to its members so they can test the wind on their properties, Miller said.
