  2. Industry has exploded over the past few years Technology improvements have led to efficiency improvements in turbines 2008 installations brought cumulative installed capacity in US to 25,170 MW US now world leader in wind power installed capacity 8,300 MW installed in 2008 Accounts for 42% of new capacity installations 4,000 MW installed in 1st half of 2009 Credit crunch hit wind industry too Changes in subsidies looking to get projects moving Wind Industry – National View

  3. Wind Industry – National Growth

  4. 29,440 MW is a lot – so where do we go from here? Industry is setting it’s sights on 20% by 2030 20% = 300,000 MW 29,000 300,000 Can this really be done?? DOE Report - 20% Wind Energy by 2030 Strategic analysis of implications of rapid industry growth www.20percentwind.org Looking into the Crystal Ball…..

  5. Projected Wind Installations in 2030 Oklahoma Projected Total: 38,000MW

  6. Transmission Grid Needs

  7. Wind & Water Reduces water consumption of 4 trillion gallons through 2030 (represents a reduction in electric sector water consumption by 17% in 2030)

  8. What does a 20% wind scenario bring? Wind industry added 35,000 jobs in 2008 Total direct industry employment at 85,000 7,000 jobs expected in OK over next 5 years Industry jobs will be direct, indirect, and induced Direct – Wind technicians, landmen, manufacturing, consultants, etc. Indirect – Electric linemen, planning management, etc. Induced – Bank tellers, grocery workers, hotel operators, etc. Green Jobs: Wind Energy

  9. Over 500,000 jobs supported by the industry in 2030 Approx. 180,000 directly employed by wind Green Jobs: Wind Energy

  10. Wind Resource & Depopulation

  11. Oklahoma’s Wind Resource

  12. Currently home to 831MW of wind projects First projects came in 2003 Steady growth ever since Will grow to 1128MW with projects expected to come online this year OU Spirit Wind Farm – 100MW PSO announcement of 197MW by end ‘09 OG&E has outstanding RFP for 300MW to be online by end of 2010 3% of OK’s electrical generation Oklahoma’s Wind Resource

  13. Top wind resource 8th best in the nation Top place for educating the industry CareerTech and Regents for Higher Education programs Top place for business Existing OK companies will have chance to expand their operations Opportunities for new companies to locate in OK Oklahoma: Home to the Best
