A look behind the scenes at what happens every time you flip a light switch.

WETO is requesting public input on facility and infrastructure funding at the National Wind Technology Center.

Wind generation can create exciting opportunities and interesting challenges when integrating large quantities of energy into the electric grid.

A wind power plant study by INL explored how transmission lines, when cooled by the wind, are capable of handling more electricity.

INL researchers are working with partners in industry and academia to use concurrent cooling from wind to make the electrical grid more efficient.

The Department of Energy’s Wind Vision report assesses the potential economic and social benefits of a study scenario where U.S. wind power supplies 10% of the nation’s electrical demand by 2020, 20% by 2030, and 35% by 2050. It also outlines a roa...
The Energy Department today released a report which confirms that adding even limited electricity transmission can significantly reduce the costs of expanding wind energy to supply 35% of U.S. electricity by 2050. The report, titled Reducing Wind Curta...
The Energy Department today released a first-of-its-kind assessment of the potential future growth of distributed wind energy in the United States through 2050. Distributed wind differs from utility-scale wind in that it is installed at or near the poi...
