  2. In my presentation • Purpose of conference • 20% Wind Energy Plan • Wind Energy in Indiana • Conclusion

  3. Sponsors • Sponsored by:- • Indiana Wind Working Group • The Indiana Office of Energy & Defense Development • Purdue University • Partially funded by National Renewable Energy Laboratory

  4. Some Companies Involved in the Conference • Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission • IMPA • Duke Energy • Indiana Power and Light (IPL) • GE Energy • Hoosier Environmental Council • White Construction

  5. Some Speakers • Lt. Governor Becky Skillman • Larry Flower, National Technical director of Wind Powering America • Joan Wealing, past president of Benton County Advisory Plan Commission • Richard Benedict, Indianapolis Power and Light (IPL) • Diane Jenner, Duke Energy

  6. Purpose of Conference • Highlight the great wind energy opportunities in IN • Talk about current wind energy projects taking place in IN and other states • Discuss potential challenges and solutions regarding those projects

  7. Why Wind Energy • High oil prices • Environmental Benefits • Economical Benefits

  8. US Lagging Other Countries for Wind as a Percentage of Electricity Consumption

  9. U.S. Leads World in Annual Wind Capacity Additions; Third in Cumulative Capacity

  10. 20% Wind Energy by 2030 • This will create many job opportunities in IN and other states. • According to Paul Cummings 300GW is needed to meet the 20% plan by 2030 • http://www.20percentwind.org/

  11. Key challenges for the 20% plan • Production Tax Credit (PTC) : 1.5 cents/ KWh for the first ten years of renewable energy facility's operation. It expires in December 31 2008 • Transmission Lines • Materials • Trained Labor • Time • Public Acceptance

  12. IN and Wind Energy • Lt. Governor Becky Skillman announced that IN will supply 530 MW of wind energy by the end of 2008 • Two main Projects: • Benton County Wind Farm (130.5MW) • Fowler Ridge Wind Farm (399.6MW) • http://www.awea.org/projects/

  16. IN Current Power Plants • In 2006 IN Produced 3.2% of electricity in the US • Power plants are aging and demand for energy increasing • Need both Coal and Wind

  17. Environmental Benefits • Reduction of SOx, NOx and CO2 gasses • No Water

  18. Public Acceptance • Landowners concerns • The government, landowners and developers should work together • In general communities like the one in Benton County are looking forward for wind energy

  19. Conclusion • The purpose of the conference was to discuss why wind energy is important and discuss current projects in IN • 20% Wind Energy plan is possible • Unfortunately , No discussion regarding electric machinery involved
