A community portal about Wind power with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into more useful forms, usually electricity using wind turbines. In 2005, worldwide capacity of wind-powered generators was 58,982 megawatts ; although it currently produces less than 1% of world-wide electricity use, it accounts for 23% of electricity use in Denmark, 6% in Germany and approximately 8% in Spain. Globally, wind power generation more than quadrupled between 1999 and 2005.
TVA to buy 450 megawatts from Dakota wind turbines
The Tennessee Valley Authority, looking outside the region for major quantities of renewable energy, has agreed to buy 450 megawatts from two wind farms in North and South Dakota.
The nation's largest public utility announced Thursday it has signed 20-year power purchase agreements with Maryland-based CVP Renewable Energy Co. and Chicago-based Invenergy from wind farms they are developing in the Dakotas.
Together, the purchases could supply 140,000 homes. TVA executive Belinda Thornton says this could give TVA the largest renewable energy portfolio in the Southeast.
TVA directors have agreed to secure as many as 2,000 megawatts of renewable energy. Thornton says as many as three more power contracts could be announced by the end of the calendar year.
