  • Wind Powering America Fy08 Activities Summary
    WIND POWERING AMERICA FY08 ACTIVITIES SUMMARY Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Dear Wind Powering America Colleague, We are pleased to present the Wind Powering America FY08 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 2008, there were more than 16,500 megawatts (MW) of wind power installed across the United States, with an additional 7,000 MW projected by year end, bringing the U.S. installed capacity to more than 23,000 MW by the end of 2008. 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. Twenty-two states now have more than 100 MW installed, compared to 17 at the end of 2007. We anticipate that four or five additional states will join the 100-MW club in 2009, 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. 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).

  • Alta East Avian Report
    Appendix D-8 Avian Baseline Studies 2011 Avian Baseline Studies at the Alta East Wind Resource Area Kern County, California Final Report July 10, 2010 – June 1, 2011 Prepared for: CH2M HILL 155 Grand Avenue Oakland, California 94612 Prepared by: Andrea Chatfield, Wallace Erickson, and Kimberly Bay Western EcoSystems Technology, Inc. Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001 July 13, 2011 NATURAL RESOURCES SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS Alta East Final Avian Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In July of 2010, on behalf of CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. and Alta Windpower, LLC (Alta Windpower), Western EcoSystems Technology, Inc. (WEST) initiated a second year of avian studies in the Alta East Wind Resource Area (AEWRA) in Kern County, California. The results of the first year of avian studies conducted at the proposed wind energy facility in 2009 and 2010 indicated that a facility at the AEWRA, with appropriate avoidance and mitigation measures, would not have significant impacts to any avian species. During the 2009 – 2010 surveys, use by golden eagles and two golden eagle nests were documented in areas outside the AEWRA boundary. The use by golden eagles occurred to the north, northeast, and west of the current AEWRA boundary, while the nests were located approximately 3.5 and 11 miles (5.6 and 17.7 kilometers [km]) from the boundary. The project boundary was modified to avoid this area of documented use by eagles and a second year of avian study was initiated. The following document presents results of fixed-point bird use surveys and raptor nest surveys conducted during the second year of baseline avian studies at the AEWRA in 2010 - 2011.

  • 96-1359 Report of the Texas Economic Development Act 2021
    Glenn Hegar Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Report of the Texas Economic Development Act 2021 A Report of the Texas Economic Development Act Introduction In 2001, the Texas Legislature established the Texas Economic Development Act, often called Chapter 313 for its place in the Texas Tax Code. The Chapter 313 program allows public school districts to offer tax incentives for businesses that make large capital investments and create jobs in Texas communities. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (CPA) administers this program, devoting over 20,000 hours of staff time annually to the task. Chapter 313 currently is set to expire on December 31, 2022.
