Study Finds Distributed Wind Energy Potential Equivalent to Half of National Electricity DemandThe U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory today released the Distributed Wind Energy Futures Study, which details the high potential to profitably deploy nearly 1,400 gigawatts (GW) of distributed wind capacity across the United States. This equates to more than half of the nation’s current annual electricity consumption. “As this study illustrates, distributed wind energy could bring clean power to millions of American households,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Kelly Speakes-Backman. “By realizing this potential, we can help local communities drive their own paths to a clean energy future and support national progress toward our climate goals.” Read more |
