  11. Wind More Stable than Incentives “The ideal state will have high average KWh electricity costs, high annual wind speeds and attractive state incentives. Annual average windspeedsand average electricity costs are relatively constant. However, state incentives are constantly changing. As a result, XXXXXXX’s team is committed to regularly tracking the available state incentives and will adjust its marketing strategy accordingly.” Funding memo for wind developer
