The establishment of Bergey Windpower Co. (BWC) has its origins in research activities at the University of Oklahoma dating back to 1970.  These activities included feasibility studies, consultation to the original NSF/ERDA wind program, and the construction of three experimental wind turbines.In 1977 work was begun on a small horizontal-axis wind turbine meant for production.

Thirty years ago Bergey pioneered the radically-simple “Bergey design” that has proven to provide the best reliability, performance, service life, and value of all of the hundreds of competitive products that have come and gone in that time. With only three moving parts and no scheduled maintenance necessary, the Bergey 10 kW has compiled a service record that no other wind turbine can match. We back it up with the longest warranty in the industry.
