Here’s what you most need to know, if you work in or support wind energy

There's no denying it: Americans want more wind power. A recent series of polls in the Midwest continues to show Americans support wind farms and want more of them.

Affordable, homegrown wind power is helping to save consumers money in many regions of the country, encouraging new wind power growth and the start of construction of over 14,000 megawatts (MW) in America so far this year.

The first-ever federal regulation on carbon pollution from existing electric power plants can be an economic boon to wind-rich states if they meet them by developing more wind energy, the industry’s trade association testified in Washington, D.C.

Television ads say "Thank you" to American wind power champions in Colorado and Iowa

Television ads set to run this week in Colorado and Iowa will thank members of Congress who are some of American wind power’s biggest champions.

Major U.S. companies: We want more renewable energy

Are policymakers and utilities listening? U.S. businesses are joining the majority of Americans in saying “we want more renewable energy.”

Renewable energy is a hot topic, and that is generally a good thing. However, it can be a double-edged sword when a reporter attempts to spice up a storyline on an unrelated topic by attempting to somehow tie it to renewable energy.

One of wind energy’s most overlooked benefits is that it requires virtually no water to produce electricity, while almost all other electricity sources evaporate tremendous amounts of water.

AWEA Blog - Offshore wind power takes another big step forward in Massachusetts

The U.S. offshore wind energy industry has made significant progress over the last several years and there was another exciting announcement this week.

“This isn’t right, and it isn’t fair to Ohio taxpayers and companies that now stand to lose millions of dollars they have already invested into trying to do business in Ohio.”

The AWEA calls on Governor John Kasich to protect billions of dollars in potential investments in Ohio by using his line item veto to strike a provision in House Bill (H.B.) 483, which places unduly restrictive setbacks on new Ohio wind farms.

U.S. wind industry developers, manufacturers and other key players have worked hard for years to make wind energy cheaper.

Renewable energy industries have done their part to cut costs and are already helping every state make progress to cut their carbon emissions.

Wind power generated enough electricity in 2013 to avoid the equivalent emissions of 20 million cars, according to a new AWEA report

“Wind energy is a proven generating resource that is available to help all states affordably and reliably achieve the carbon emission reductions to be proposed by the EPA soon."

The Senate recessed for the Memorial Day break without a vote on the EXPIRE act to extend dozens of crucial tax policies, including the Production Tax Credit (PTC) and Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for clean energy.

AWEA: New vision previewed in Las Vegas galvanizes U.S. wind industry

Preparations underway for WINDPOWER 2015 in Orlando

The WINDPOWER 2014 Conference & Exhibition kicked into high gear with a sharp focus on the future, as federal officials previewed an ambitious vision for the growth of U.S. wind energy to 35 percent of the grid by 2050.

The two associations will collaborate on building the distributed and community wind markets nationally, as well as coordinating on federal and state policy initiatives.

The American wind industry continues the construction boom that started 2014, with more than 13,000 megawatts (MW) of wind energy projects under construction at the end of the first quarter.

U.S. industry endures challenging year, emerges busier than ever

Reilly, who has served since 2007 as Chief of Staff to U.S. Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware will transition to AWEA by the end of the month, in time to attend WINDPOWER, North America’s largest wind energy conference and exhibition, in his new role in May.

Wind energy secures significant CO2 emission reductions for the U.S.

Rapid development of the U.S. wind energy industry has led to significant reductions in power sector carbon emissions.

The PTC and ITC were included today with bipartisan support, as the U.S. Senate Finance Committee reported out a tax extenders package whose swift passage is critically important to the continued growth of the U.S. wind energy industry.
