Background

CompanyBetz Boys, Inc.

Our goal as a wind farm company is to promote green initiatives throughout the state of Ohio

We find new solutions to help companies cut down on energy

costs and consumption

2.1

Off-setting Cedar Point’s power consumption

Promote Green Energy in the public eye

Set records in wind production in North America

2.2

Cedar Point has high electrical costs

A wind farm can greatly reduce their monthly

operational costs

Over a half million data

points over seven years

Around 70% up time

(Wind Speed Above

Cut-In)

Likely higher based on

turbine height.

Percent Above Cut-In

6.1

Conclusion - Annual Energy Produced

Assuming 60% up time at 50% rated wind speed

the Blue Cedar Breezze farm would produce

140 Gigawatt Hours annually

Power for 175,000 average American homes

Off-set 65% of the power used by Cedar Point’s

15 roller coasters.

6.2

Average cost per turbine: $15 million

Total wind farm cost: $195 million

Amount saved per year: $10.5 million at 7.5 cents per kWh

Paid off in approximately 20 years

Conclusion - Cost

6.3

Maintain high Environmental Health and Safety standards

Clean energy to Cedar Point and area

Construct 13 high performance turbines

Produce 140 GigaWatts/Hours energy annually
