Regional distribution of a 5,000 to 10,000 MW national annual market based on 2020 distribution from DOE 20% Wind Energy Report Northwest: 9% 450 -900 MW New England: 4% 125 -250 MW New York: 3% 200 - 400 MW Midwest: 21.8% 1,100 -2,175 MW Mountain West: 13.5% 675 -1,350 MW Plains: 22.4% 1,110 -2,225 MW California: 5.4% 275 -550 MW Mid-Atlantic: 8% 400 -800 MW Texas: 10.25% 500 -1,025 MW Southeast Offshore: 2.5% 125 - 250 MW Source: AWEA

  6. U.S. wind capacity installations The U.S. finished the year with a total of 5,115 MW of new wind power – nearly 50% drop from 2009 levels. U.S. cumulative capacity now stands at 40,180 MW. 40,180 MW = > 35,600 turbines 40,180 MW = powering equivalent of 10 million homes 40,180 MW = equivalent electricity of OK, TN, or VA 40,180 MW = equivalent > 5 million tons of steel Wind Capacity (MW) 5 Source: AWEA, 4thQuarter 2010 Market Report

  15. Policy status & path forwardU.S. “Portfolio Approach” to policy U.S. approach to energy policy often involves a portfolio of policies at the state and national level: Continue focus to pass a national long term renewable energy policy for utilities to have a more balanced generation mix, and long term tax policy that encourages investment, and expedite transmission build Greater focus by AWEA on state jurisdiction over power generation through state regulatory process. States like California, Colorado increasing targets so new opportunities. With wind cost competitive with nat gas encourage greater balance in state portfolios as well as look for tweaks in state RES and tax policy to drive demand.

  16. Proven Track Record: States Renewable Portfolio Standards have created a market for wind with over 90% of the renewable energy build in states with RPS programs Portfolio Approach: State & Regional Leadership

  17. Iowa: Case study of state leadership in growing wind generation and manufacturing Iowa which enacted a renewable standard in 1983, now has the greatest percentage of electricity generated from wind: 3,675 MW, approaching 20% and is the leading state in attracting manufacturing.
