Wind Turbines

How big are they?



How are they put together




Tower - 80 meters (about 25
stories) at the hub
Blades – 38 meters (about 100
feet) long
Concrete footing poured
Three tower pieces assembled in
place
Three blades attached to the hub
and lifted into place
How fast do they turn?

16 RPM (one rotation every four
seconds)
Invenergy
Land Use

Wind farms and agriculture are very compatible



Wind farms require from 50 – 100 acres per turbine,
with a typical wind farm comprising of 100 turbines
When completed, each turbine only removes 0.25 acres
from production
Hosting a wind farm greatly benefits the community


Tax base increased by ~ $2.5 MM per turbine
Affected landowners receive compensation through
easement and waiver agreements
Invenergy
Interconnection Agreement


The interconnection agreement allows for the generator
to interconnect to the electric transmission system
This process is one of the most time consuming steps of
the development process:

Marketing the Energy and RECs


How wind energy and RECs are sold varies by market
In less actively traded markets, energy and RECs are
sold under long term contracts to load serving utilities




Contracts typically 20 – 25 years long
Pricing fixed for the term
Common in CO and WI
In more actively traded markets, energy and RECs are
often sold separately




Energy sold into power pool
Energy price risk managed through commodity risk
managers, typically for 10 years
RECs sold to load serving entities
Common in TX and PJM
Invenergy
Impact of HB 1871

On May 3rd, the IL House passed a bill providing for a
renewable portfolio standard (RPS) for IL




Sets a requirement that 25% of IL’s energy requirements
are met by renewables by 2025, with implementation
beginning in 2007
Requires in state generation through 2011
Protects ratepayers through caps on rate impacts
Clear ratemaking requirements will be critical to its
implementation


Provides for 20 year power purchase agreements
Provides for the Commission to review and approve
solicitation processes

Summary

Wind energy can contribute significantly to serving
Illinois’ energy supply needs going forward

HR 1871 sets a high, but attainable, goal for
renewables in IL, and wind will play a leading role in
meeting it

In order to meet that goal, developers, ISO’s,
landowners, utilities, and those that oversee them will
have to work together
