The Midwest wind power market is strong, and continues to be an anchor for the entire U.S. wind energy industry. Of the over 43,600 MWs of wind capacity installed in the U.S. through October 2011, over 14,600 MWs were installed in Midwestern states – that’s over 30% of total installed capacity.
Whether you are already involved in Midwest wind power activities, or want to learn more about entering into this growing marketplace, you won’t find a more relevant event. This new AWEA Regional Summit is a prime opportunity to engage in discussions with your peers, wind energy industry leaders, and subject matter experts on issues unique to the Midwest.
