Bringing Wind Power to Market -
Collaboration for a Brighter Tomorrow
Wind energy is growing quickly. It's a clean, abundant, affordable energy source to power our homes and businesses. It can help diversify rural economics. And it has the potential to create billions of dollars worth of new opportunities for the Upper Midwest - a region rich in wind resources.
But we face challenges to delivering the wind-generated electricity from the windy areas to major electricity markets such as Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Chicago. There are even problems getting wind power from Southwest Minnesota to Minneapolis, and from Northwest Iowa to Des Moines. And the "rules of the road" were originally designed for conventional forms of power generation - coal, nuclear, and natural gas - and may not accommodate new competitors and technologies such as wind power.
We're working to change that.
