  • 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.

  • Clean Energy from America's Oceans
    Clean Energy from America’s Oceans Permitting and Financing Challenges to the U.S. Offshore Wind Industry Michael Conathan and Richard Caperton June 2011 Introduction and summary For 87 days in the spring and summer of 2010, an undersea gusher of oil continuously reminded Americans of the toll energy development can take on our oceans. Approximately 3,500 oil rigs and platforms were operating in U.S. waters at the time of the BP disaster. There were also over 1,000 wind turbines generating clean, renewable electricity off the coastlines of northwestern Europe. But not a single windmill yet turns in the strong, abundant winds that abound off our shores. Clearly wind power cannot immediately replace the energy we still must generate from the oil and gas produced on the outer continental shelf. But America’s unwillingness to clear the way for permitting a proven, commercially scalable, clean source of energy is a major black eye for a nation that purports to be a leader in technological development. Denmark constructed the first offshore wind facility in in 1991. In the intervening two decades 10 other countries installed offshore wind farms—eight nations in northern Europe, plus Japan and China (see chart). Nations embracing wind energy Current offshore wind capacity in megawatts, Europe, China, and the United States Europe Offshore wind capacity (United Kingdom, Denmark, The China United States in megawatts (MW) Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Ireland, Finland, Norway)1 Installed 2,946 1022 0 Under construction 3,000 2,3003 0 Permitted 19,000 13,6004 4885 Total 24,946 MW 16,002 MW 488 MW Note: One megawatt roughly equates to the amount of electricity needed to power 300 American homes.

  • FERC Approval Release 5-19
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Frank Maisano, (202) 828-5864, c: (202) 997-5932 [email protected] FERC Action Will Enable Offshore Transmission, Reduce Congestion First–of-Kind Offshore Backbone Project will Deliver Clean Energy, Jobs, Reliability WASHINGTON, DC – The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved a filing that greatly enhances transmission development to support America's renewable energy needs, which will also reduce expensive transmission congestion in the Mid-Atlantic states. FERC's order provides a boost to new transmission projects like the Atlantic Wind Connection that require large sums of capital that are totally at risk. The Atlantic Wind Connection investment will create thousands of offshore wind development jobs and expand reliability and national security through improvements in the electric grid. "This is an important and significant step forward to build the interstate electric super highway necessary for offshore wind to reach scale," said Robert Mitchell, CEO of Atlantic Grid Development, the project's developer. "The Atlantic Wind Connection project will allow thousands of megawatts of clean power to efficiently connect to the PJM transmission grid, while spurring the creation of thousands of clean energy jobs and improving the reliability and security of the power grid in the Mid-Atlantic. We are gratified and appreciate that the Commissioners recognize the important benefits this project will provide in furthering the efficient and timely development of offshore wind in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.” AWC originally filed its petition with FERC regarding its backbone transmission project in December. Announced in October, the AWC project is the super highway for potential offshore wind energy along the Mid-Atlantic coast.

  • Request to Study the Atlantic Wind Connection Project
    1 DRAFT – April 12 2012 Request to Study the Atlantic Wind Connection Project and Request For Scoping Meeting 1. New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington D.C. (Eastern PJM States) hereby jointly request PJM to evaluate the Atlantic Wind Connection (AWC) project as a transmission solution to their combined offshore renewable energy needs. The Eastern PJM States would like PJM to: (i) Quantify the various categories of benefits that AWC will provide, including impacts on reliability, market efficiency, congestion costs, LMPs, and capacity payments relative to a baseline scenario without AWC; (i) Identify the likely beneficiaries within the states served by PJM, (ii) Quantify the distribution of the benefits among the beneficiaries. The Eastern PJM States would also like PJM to indicate how AWC would be treated under the Critical Mass Approach ("CMA") as it is currently envisioned by PJM. The Eastern PJM States further request that PJM calculate the additional reliability and congestion costs and benefits that would result from the ability of the AWC backbone line to provide power into the northern New Jersey market including the additional revenues that would be available to wind developers. 2. In examining how the transmission method selected for offshore wind projects may impact the PJM states generally, and the states that support offshore wind energy in particular, the Eastern PJM States request that PJM consider, at a minimum, alternate transmission approaches as outlined in the table below (and shown on the attached maps). To the extent PJM needs to prioritize tasks, we suggest starting with the 3,000 MW configuration for study year 2019, followed by 7,000 MW for study year 2023.

  • Atlantic Coast
    Harnessing the wind off the Atlantic Coast By Marissa N. Newhall, Clean Energy Group From New England to the Southeast, in Washington and in state capitals, there are oil and gas industry executives and their allies who look out across the Atlantic seashore and immediately think: Drill there, drill now. The American Petroleum Institute wants to open up the entire Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf to oil and gas drilling, regardless of the risk to existing coastal industries or whether this is in fact the most effective economic development strategy for the region.11 Indeed, expanded offshore drilling is not the only option. The Atlantic region’s vast natural resources, pre-existing infrastructure, and status as one of the nation’s largest energy load centers make the area prime territory for offshore wind development. In fact, the Department of Energy classifies Atlantic coastal wind resources as “outstanding,” a rating stronger than any land-based wind resources in the nation.12 The Atlantic coastal region is particularly well-suited for offshore wind power development Resource availability and energy generation potential are high Not a single wind turbine sits in water off any U.S. coastline. Yet the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that more than 4,000 gigawatts of electricity— more than four times what the U.S. power system can currently produce—could Harnessing the wind off the Atlantic Coast | www.americanprogress.org 7 be generated from winds blowing above coastal waters.13 More than a quarter of this wind power could be harnessed from winds over the Atlantic Ocean.
