AWEA 3rd Quarter 2007 Market Report

November 7, 2007

The U.S. wind energy industry continues its growth. As of the end of the third quarter, 2007, the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) reports over 2,300 megawatts (MW) of new wind energy capacity online so far this year. By the end of the year, the Association expects a total of over 4,000 MW to have been brought online in 2007.

American Wind Energy Association ▪ 3rd Quarter Market Report page 6 Wind Power Projects, by location Chart 1 illustrates where new wind power projects have been built in 2006 and where they have been built or are in the process of being built in 2007. Locations are approximate. AWEA considers a “project” to be one project if it is owned by the same entity or entities and is geographically contiguous. Projects range in size from one- turbine projects to those that have several hundred wind turbines.

American Wind Energy Association ▪ 3rd Quarter Market Report page 8 Project Definitions

Definitions (the last two – web link and WEW reference – are not currently being used in the report, and therefore will come out of the definitions for now).

Term Abbrev. Description Information Source Capacity (in Megawatts) MW Total nameplate capacity rating of assembly of turbines Information as received from project developer at end of each quarter.

Completion Date Date on which wind project is considered to be operational. Specific criteria for "Completion" is at the discretion of Usually "Commercial Operation Date". the project developer.

Merchant or "market" Wind power plants that are built without a traditional long- Project developer or owner term power purchase agreement, instead selling power into a spot-market, sometimes with a hedge contract, or an op- tion to sell the power at a certain price in the future. Owner/Equity Partner Company or companies that will have a managing interest Project developer or owner in project when it is complete, though they may not have 100% ownership. Does not usually include structural equity investors. Power Purchaser Utility contracted to purchase power under long-term Power project developer or power purchaser Purchase Agreement (PPA) contract or use the power in case of utility ownership

Project Developer Company or companies managing most aspects of project project developer development process. Is often a joint effort among several companies.

Project Name Name supplied by project developer project developer

Turbine Manufacturer Turbine vendor or supplier project developer or turbine manufacturer

Turbine Rating (in Megawatts) MW Nameplate capacity rating of each turbine – typically the project developer maximum potential power output of the turbine generator
