How much wind could the East Coast take if its power grid could take wind? How much wind power a system can incorporate is a significant problem in power grid management. At a basic level, grid operators can’t control when the wind blows, and the problem is exacerbated by the fact that more traditional generators … Continue reading How much wind could the East Coast take if its power grid could take wind?→
Wind energy faces possible moratorium The North Dakota Senate is considering two bills that could negatively impact the development of wind farms in the state, according to Rep. Mike Brandenburg, R-Edgeley. Senate Bill 2314 was amended to include a two-year moratorium on new wind farm projects before it passed the Senate Energy and Natural Resources … Continue reading Wind energy faces possible moratorium→
Southern Cross could spur 3GW of new wind build-out in Texas grid Pattern Development’s trailblazing Southern Cross transmission project could stimulate 3GW of new wind capacity build-out within the main ERCOT electrical grid in Texas by enabling other US states to access abundant low-cost energy there, a senior company official tells Recharge. The proposed 400-mile-long … Continue reading #Southern_Cross could spur 3GW of new wind build-out in #Texas_grid→
