Title: A growth market in wind power

Abstract

Progress in wind turbine technology has spurred a revival of wind power projects across the United States. New confidence in the technology is reflected in the fact that electric utilities are opting to own the turbines directly rather than buying the power from independent wind farm developers. Recently implemented government and regulatory incentives are expected to further propel utility involvement. Wind power development is moving at an even more rapid pace in Europe, where government subsidies and incentives have progressed steadily over the years. Despite the advantages such subsidies have given to European companies, the dominant US wind turbine manufacturer has produced a turbine that has successfully competed internationally. EPRI and the US Department of Energy are collaborating on a new program to help accelerate the commercialization of even more advanced wind turbine technologies.
