Market forces demand lean, innovative future for supply chain
UNITED STATES: Uncertainty over the industry subsidy, the production tax credit (PTC), and low-cost competition from natural gas has made the situation within the wind industry in the US incredibly tough. Many players have exited the market or diversified out of wind within the past year.
Wind gives bigger share of electricity generation in the US
UNITED STATES: Wind power generation rose in 2013 and produced more than 10% of electricity in nine states, up from five in 2011. Across the country, wind generated 3.5% of the nation's electricity, behind coal with 37%, natural gas with 30%, nuclear with 19% and hydro-electric with 6.9%.
Call to phase out production tax credit gathers pace
UNITED STATES: As the $0.023/kWh production tax credit (PTC) is back on a countdown to expiration just months after US Congress passed a short-term extension of the incentive, some in the US wind sector are weighing whether negotiating its eventual demise may be the only way to put the industry on a stable footing for the long term.
Network expansion must keep pace
UNITED STATES: Four years ago, transmission was the single biggest constraint hampering US wind power's growth. In 2009, an estimated 311GW of wind projects was waiting in grid interconnection queues, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA).
