Wind on the Wires staff have made numerous presentations in an effort to work with decision makers to remove barriers that wind energy faces in accessing the electrical transmission system throughout the upper Midwest. Our staff has presented Wind on the Wires work to a variety of individuals and organizations including:
- renewable energy advocacy organizations,
- utility transmission planners,
- FERC commissioners and staff,
- elected and appointed officials,
- regional transmission organizations, and
- conferences and workshops.
