Overview: Wind is the fastest-growing form of renewable energy in the United States. For example, from 1991 to 2002, the production of electricity from wind turbines in the United States has more than doubled a growth rate faster than any other form of power generation. This white paper will review the status of wind power today, addressing basic wind power technologies, recent federal and state initiatives, interconnection and transmission issues, potential impacts on distribution cooperatives and generation and transmission cooperatives (G&Ts), wind energy from the point of view of consumers, and wind energy economics.
