Consequent to the acquisition, Deerpath Energy will provide a direct pipeline to the new customers and sales models for distributed energy installation.

Massachusetts-based Deerpath Energy will continue to have its office on the East Coast and will closely work with SWWP’s flagstaff-based team on new projects and strategies.

Kellogg Warner, founder and CEO of Deerpath, said: “The commercial distributed wind market represents a huge new opportunity for Southwest’s products and services. Deerpath’s market knowledge coupled with Southwest’s industry leading technologies creates a powerful combination.”

Dixon Thayer, CEO of SWWP, said: “Deerpath’s core competency lies in the micrositing of small wind systems which represents a unique, high value expertise as distributed applications grow beyond the residential home market.

“We are excited to have such a talented group join Southwest Windpower to aggressively pursue new opportunities and markets in the small wind industry.”
