New communities are being developed to different standards. Urban sprawl is quickly being replaced with well planned sustainable ideals.  Within these communities, sustainable energy decisions are a requirement.  Headwaters offers services to assist developers to incorporate these renewable options. Community grid-connected renewable energy mini power plants should be looked at.   These types of systems use to be only considered only for off grid isolated third world towns. Now, with increase energy cost, mandated renewable portfolios for utilities companies and desire for distributed generation, these types of systems are a part of the complete solution.
