Wind Power Isn’t Perfect
• Wind Power output varies over time • Wind Power can only meet part of your load • Wind Power is location-dependent • Wind Power is transmission-dependent • Wind Power has environmental impacts . . . But Wind Power has a Great Future!

Wind Has Hit Sustained Takeoff in the U.S.
• 2005 will be a record year – about 2,500 MW • 6,740 MW now installed • Market fundamentals are strong – Wind’s Competitive Posture Strong and Improving • No Longer “Alternative Energy” – Growing Interest Within Financial Community – U.S. Should be World’s Largest Wind Market Over Next Decade • Consistent policy is key current constraint

Wind Insures Against Fuel Price Risk
• Platts “conservatively estimates that generating electricity from renewable sources can ultimately save consumers more than $5/MWh by eliminating fuel price risk”* *4/8/03 announcement re “Power Price Stability: What’s it Worth?” Great River Energy
American Wind Energy Association Different Ways to Buy Renewable Energy • Rate Based as Part of Utility Portfolio • Green Pricing – No competition, monopoly utility offers customers choice of supporting wind power construction.
• Green Marketing – In competitive market, customers empowered to choose service providers that contract to purchase renewables • Green Tags – Environmental attributes divorced from energy
American Wind Energy Association Wind Energy is the Star of the Green Market!
Represents 93.8%* of Green Power in the U.S.
• Environmental Benefit • Cost-Competitive • Popular • Visual Appeal • Hydro and Gas Resources Complementary

Benefits of Wind:
Environmental
•
Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions
30,000 MW of wind energy in U.S. = 100 MMT/year cut in CO2 emissions •
Reduced Air Pollution
30,000 MW of wind energy in U.S. = 250,000 tons/year cut in NOx emissions •
Reduced Water Pollution
U.S. wind capacity at 30,000 MW = reduced mercury emissions and healthier water for all Americans
American Wind Energy Association
What is Wind’s Market Potential?
• At least 20,000 MW total installed by 2010 in U.S.
• 6% of electricity supply by 2020 = 100,000 MW of wind power installed by 2020 = a $150 billion market!
American Wind Energy Association
What are the Barriers to a $150 Billion U.S. Wind Market?
• Inconsistent Policy • Transmission constraints • Electric Industry Operational Rules • Siting
American Wind Energy Association
Wind Development in the Mid-Atlantic
• Siting often challenging • Projects often smaller • Wind speeds lower than Great Plains • Green Market Important
American Wind Energy Association
Mid-Atlantic Wind Issues:
Regional Collaboration is Essential • A Working Green Market in PJM Region – Implement a certificates-based energy tracking system – Green Power Standard Offer Service • Coherent Regional Policy – Regional RPS – Regional CO2 cap & trade • Clean Air credits/allowances for renewables • Transmission expansion and rules • Thanks for leadership
