  • 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.

  • Meadow Lake Wind Farm
    Meadow Lake Wind Farm Meadow Lake Wind Farm is located in northwestern Indiana in White County. The site offers many advantages as a location for a modern wind power project, including a strong, proven wind resource, excellent access to a transmission line, compatibility with existing land uses and proximity to power markets. The wind farm co-exists well with the agricultural land use in the area, allowing farmers to continue growing crops while generating revenue from the wind turbines. Energy Output Meadow Lake I Wind Farm has an installed capacity of 199.65 megawatts (MW), Phase II has an installed capacity of 99 MW and Phase III has an installed capacity of 103.5 MW, and Phase IV has an installed capacity of 98.7 MW. The wind farms generate enough clean, renewable energy to power approximately 138,000 average Indiana homes each year. EDP Renewables North America’s Development team is developing additional phases with a potential installed capacity of up to 500 megawatts in White and Benton Counties. Benefits to the Community The four phases of Meadow Lake Wind Farm yield significant economic benefits to the community in the form of payments to landowners, local spending and annual community investment. In addition, the development, construction and operation of the wind farms have generated a significant number of jobs. During construction, more than 1,000 contracters were hired. The wind farm helps provide energy security to the United States by diversifying the electricity generation portfolio, protecting against volatile natural gas spikes and utilizing a renewable, domestic source of energy.

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF FOUNDATION FOR ONSHORE TALL WIND TURBINES A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Civil Engineering by Shweta Shrestha December 2015 Accepted by: Dr. Nadarajah Ravichandran, Committee Chair Dr. Ronald D. Andrus Dr. Qiushi Chen ABSTRACT Wind turbines play a vital role in producing sustainable and clean energy to fulfill the growing energy needs. Energy generated from wind turbines being more sustainable and cost effective, many countries have taken a major step to develop wind turbines with large capacity. There has been a significant reduction in the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) since the 1980’s from the development of larger wind farms and from consistent performance improvements of wind turbine components. The power generation capacity of wind turbines has increased significantly over the years with the use of taller towers. When the tower height increases, the loads on the foundation increase and the foundation becomes significantly larger.

    Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission Regulatory Flexibility Report to the Indiana General Assembly '08 Tradition. Innovation. Change. Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (Commission) is pleased to present its 2008 Report to the Regulatory Flexibility Committee of the Indiana General Assembly. This Report highlights key issues that confront Indiana Electric, Natural Gas, Communications and Water/Wastewater utility industries and discusses the role of the Commission in managing these issues. Over the course of the last year, many topics have been addressed including: energy efficiency, aging infrastructure, the rising cost of energy, access to broadband and economic development. The Commission has been monitoring statewide and national efforts to address these issues in addition to remaining at the forefront of discussion with legislators, other state regulators and commissions. The Report broaches many of these topics and provides updates on how they affect Indiana. While each industry has unique concerns, several discussed in this Report are common to more than one type of industry. This Executive Summary contains a brief overview of these cross-industry and industry-specific issues, which are more fully addressed in the body of the Report. By examining cross-industry concerns, certain trends emerge along with areas that may need more attention. Plus, they demonstrate how similar utilities are with regard to regulation and support. The Report contains, as an appendix, a copy of the External Client Survey undertaken by the Commission in 2007. Even though the results of the Survey were very positive, the Commission provided a response that addressed the issues identified in the Survey and continues to explore and undertake efforts to enhance overall performance.
