Transmission

One of the biggest constraints on wind energy's growth in the U.S. is the capacity of the transmission grid to deliver wind energy to customers. AWEA seeks to transform electric industry practices, including transmission, through advocacy and outreach.

AWEA-SEIA Transmission White Paper , 2/18/09

AWEA can transform practices through Three Key Objectives:

AWEA seeks to improve access to transmission interconnection and delivery service for wind energy.
AWEA encourages transmission organizations, policy makers, and market participants to develop new transmission facilities.
AWEA works with utilities to study cost and reliability impacts of wind integration, and promotes means of reducing those impacts such as wind output forecasting and system operation methods.
