NREL's Wind Powering America Team Helps Indiana Develop Wind Resources (Fact Sheet)
How does a state advance, in just five years, from having no installed wind capacity to having more than 1000 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity? The Wind Powering America (WPA) initiative, based at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), employs a state-focused approach that has helped accelerate wind energy deployment in many states. One such state is Indiana, which is now home tothe largest wind plant east of the Mississippi.
