With the start-up of two 100-kilowatt (kW) wind turbines, the Village of Cascade became the first Wisconsin community to power its municipal wastewater treatment plant with 100 percent locally produced wind energy.
Madison, WI - On Friday, June 18th, at 1:00 in room 5120 of Grainger Hall, we will launch this summer's Wind Energy speaker series. Tom Eggert will provide a broad overview of the wind sector, the growth of jobs in companies that supply the wind sector, and the efforts that Wisconsin is putting into attracting wind companies to Wisconsin. We will also have time to draw on knowledge that you will bring to the session.
Atlantic City, NJ - AWEA's North American Offshore Wind Conference & Exhibition, in collaboration with CanWEA, is the only event of its kind that truly brings together the thought-leaders of the wind industry for a dialogue on offshore wind development - the growth potential, obstacles, and rewards.
Michigan State University Extension Service has data available from 9 anemometers located around the state. Data goes back to 2006 on some towers.
The National Wind Coordinating Collaborative has released an updated factsheet summarizing the interactions between wind turbines and bird and bat populations in the U.S. The information is divided into three categories: conclusions that have broad consensus, ideas that have been presented but not broadly supported yet, and areas where knowledge gaps remain.
This factsheet is only a summary of existing literature and studies and does not provide new scientific analysis or information about these interactions. Also provided is an extensive and detailed listing of citations used in the factsheet.
Visit the National Wind Coordinating Collaborative's website to learn more and to download the factsheet.
Washington DC — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the availability of up to $6 million to advance midsize wind turbine technology in order to boost the speed and scale of midsize turbine deployment. DOE will provide the funding over two years to accelerate the development, testing, and commercialization of domestically manufactured, midsize wind turbines with rated generating capacities between 100 kilowatts and 1 megawatt. Through this funding opportunity, DOE will leverage private-sector technology investment by providing cost-shared partnerships to qualified projects in support of the Administration's drive to create clean-energy jobs, and promote economic development and energy independence. DOE anticipates making up to four initial grants under this competitive solicitation.
Cedar Rapids, IA - This event is dedicated to helping fabricating and machining shops identify and capitalize on opportunities in the wind energy supply chain.
