- 12. Drivers for Wind Development Hedges risk of renewable portfolio standard and/or carbon tax or cap No fuel costs No emissions / no wastes requiring disposal Provides income to landowners (economic development in rural South Dakota) and to investors Requires no water
- 13. Challenges in Wind Development Wind is an energy resource only, cannot schedule, difficult to predict Short-term rate impact Cost, need, and timing of major transmission additions Market access Siting Environmental issues Long-term equipment availability – maintenance
- 14. Challenges with Wind Development Variable and non-dispatchable Must be supplemented with constant sources Wind in remote areas Expansive new transmission needed “ Not in my backyard” siting issues Seams agreements or national policy needed Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)
- 16. Exporting of Wind Powered Generation Federal legislation Transmission State legislation
