In 1986, developers of wind projects in California will install about half the wind generating capacity they did in 1985, or at about the same level as in 1983. Given that the federal energy tax credits expired at the end of 1985, this level of activity is actually exceeding the expectations of many in the industry. Between 1981 and 1985, developers in California had installed 13,373 wind turbines, with a combined capacity of 1,120 MW.
