Another Positive Sign For Long-Term Role of Wind

While the recent PTC extension is worth noting — NERC’s recent report (referenced in the AWEA link below) is maybe more significant in terms of wind’s long-term role. Second to price, integration arguably has been the second-most significant issue for wind. But, as with wind pricing which has dropped considerably (and is being seen as offering long-term hedge value), integration appears to be improving. This suggests a continuing, long-term role for wind in the overall energy mix.
