Capture the wind in Ohio
June 6th, 2008The wind industry is thriving in Ohio. Ohio joined forces this week with other states committed to wind energy development at the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) WINDPOWER 2008 conference.
"Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland signed legislation creating a real market for renewable energy in Ohio and aggressively positioning Ohio manufacturers to compete in the growing wind energy market," said AWEA Manager of State Legislation Hans Detweiler.
Ohio's renewable portfolio legislation, passed in May 2008, requires all publicly owned utilities serving the state of Ohio to generate 12.5 percent of electricity from renewable energy sources, such as wind, by 2025.
Ohio's wind volume is ideally positioned for energy delivery to major markets in eastern North America. Currently, three companies are developing projects in the state: EverPower Renewables, Invenergy and JW Great Lakes Wind.
