Wind Powering America FY07 Activities Summary
Wind Powering America FY07 Activities Summary Dear Wind Powering America Colleague, We are pleased to present the Wind Powering America FY07 Activities Summary, which reflects the accomplishments of our state Wind Working Groups, our programs at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and our partner organizations. The national WPA team remains a leading force for moving wind energy forward in the United States. At the beginning of 2007, there were more than 11,500 megawatts (MW) of wind power installed across the United States, with an additional 4,000 MW projected in both 2007 and 2008. The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) estimates that the U.S. installed capacity will exceed 16,000 MW by the end of 2007. When our partnership was launched in 2000, there were 2,500 MW of installed wind capacity in the United States. At that time, only four states had more than 100 MW of installed wind capacity. Seventeen states now have more than 100 MW installed. We anticipate five to six additional states will join the 100-MW club early in 2008, and by the end of the decade, more than 30 states will have passed the 100-MW milestone. WPA celebrates the 100-MW milestones because the first 100 megawatts are always the most difficult and lead to significant experience, recognition of the wind energy’s benefits, and expansion of the vision of a more economically and environmentally secure and sustainable future. WPA continues to work with its national, regional, and state partners to communicate the opportunities and benefits of wind energy to a diverse set of stakeholders. -

Much Like the Oil Farms of the Last Century Were
A CONTEMPORARY USE FOR A HISTORIC ENERGY SOURCE Kenneth C. Wolensky with photographs by Don Giles uch like the oil farms of the last century were for drillers and riggers, Pennsylvania’s wind farms are M proving grounds for engineers and technicians as they harness wind power. The long-standing use of wind power that for centuries propelled sailing vessels has been transformed throughout the world to produce electricity. Farmers used wind power in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to pump water, grind grain, and, sometimes, generate electricity. And Pennsylvania was no exception. PHMC staff photographer Don Giles captured both the symmetrical beauty and implications for Pennsylvania’s energy future at Locust Ridge Wind Farm, straddling Schuylkill and Columbia counties.

Renewable Energy Guide a Guide for Local Governments
s GREAT PLAINS INSTITUTE December 2020 Indiana Renewable Energy Guide A Guide for Local Governments This guide was authored by Jenna Greene, Brian Ross, and Jessi Wyatt of the Great Plains Institute in collaboration with the Environmental Resilience Institute at Indiana University. The information and work presented herein was funded in part by Energy Foundation. Photo from Great Plains Institute by Katharine Chute SUMMARY Wind and solar energy are among the least expensive forms of electric generation in the country. Solar and wind resources are abundant throughout Indiana. Costs of both solar and wind energy systems are forecast to continue declining. Increased market activity in renewable energy development will therefore continue well into the future. This guide provides Indiana communities with a long-range perspective on utility- and community-scale solar and wind energy markets and development trends. Understanding the long-term context helps communities make informed decisions in evaluating renewable energy proposals and creating plans about how future development should happen. The Great Plains Institute is engaging local governments across the Upper Midwest on long- term planning for renewable energy. Additional guides are available on the Great Plains Institute website: www.betterenergy.org. SITING UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR AND WIND IN INDIANA 1 SUMMARY OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SITING AUTHORITY Siting authority for solar and wind systems in Indiana resides at the local level.1 Additional permits are granted by state bodies, but these projects are still subject to local land use controls. For example, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission issues a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for large-scale energy facilities, but neither solar nor wind energy systems require a state-level siting permit.2 Zoning and land use standards vary widely across Indiana’s counties. -

Of course, the 20% Wind Energy by 2030 report (developed by AWEA, the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and other stakeholders) indicates that 44 states may be in the 100-MW club by 2030, and 33 states will have more than 1,000 MW installed (at the end of 2008, there were six states in that category). -
