Puerto Rico Wind & Hybrid Renewable Energy Symposium 2026
Daki Green Energy is organizing the Puerto Rico Wind & Hybrid Renewable Energy Symposium 2026, bringing together project developers, technology providers, policymakers, and facility operators from across Puerto Rico and the broader Caribbean. The event will spotlight how distributed wind, solar PV, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and hybrid microgrids are reshaping energy resilience and reliability while reducing operating costs for commercial, industrial, agricultural, and municipal facilities.

Bergey Windpower Receives UL 6142 Certification for its Excel 15 Turbine
In May BWC received certification for its Excel 15 turbine to the Standard for Safety, Small Wind Turbine Systems, UL 6142, which covers electrical safety. The National Electric Code (NEC) now requires that wind turbines be “listed” and that means certified to UL 6142 (small turbines) or UL 6141 (large turbines). Building code officials will look for this listing label and if not found they will require an expensive “field examination” before issuing a permit. This is different from the turbine certification required by the IRS, either AWEA 9.1 or ACP-101.
BWC’s UL 6142 certification was issued by QPS Evaluation Services of Toronto, Canada. It is believed to be the first UL 6142 certification issued for a small wind turbine. “This certification will make it easier for our customers to get their permits and, in some cases, to qualify for incentives,” noted Mike Bergey, BWC’s President and CEO.
