To date, there is no reliable evidence indicating that wind energy systems produce stray voltage. Of the few claims that wind energy produces stray voltage, most are presented by dairy farmers living near a wind farm (specifically without turbines on their property). As stray voltage is a common problem on farms in general, it is likely that this condition was present before the wind farms were installed. In the case of on-site generation, Mick Sagrillo, a nationally renowned expert on wind generation systems, has stated that presence of a wind generator simply will not create (nor will it solve) any on-site stray voltage problems."
