Key Issues for Wind Power
•
•
•
•
Financial markets
Policy Uncertainty
Supply chain/workforce
Siting and Permitting: avian,
noise, visual, federal land
* Transmission: FERC rules,
tariffs, new lines, PMA’s
•
•
Operational impacts:
variability, ancillary services,
forecasting, cost allocation
Accounting for non-monetary
value: green power, no fuel
price risk, reduced emissions
and water use

* 3-year average; total is non-market cost
** highest integration cost of 3 years; 30.7% capacity penetration corresponding to 25% energy penetration;
24.7% capacity penetration at 20% energy penetration
*** found $4.37/MWh reduction in UC cost when wind forecasting is used in UC decision
**** Geographically diverse wind and concentrated wind
