Power Gen / Green Day at the Innovation Center

You’re Invited!

Thursday, September 11
11:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m.
Booth D-4168, Lakeside Center (East Building)

The winds of opportunity are blowing. Catch a ride.

  • Wind power generating capacity increased by 45% in 2007.
  • U.S. wind energy industry installed 5,244MW last year.
  • Installed wind energy generating capacity now totals 16,818MW.

The installed wind power fleet is expected to generate an estimated 18 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of wind energy in 2008, just over 1% of today’s U.S. electricity supply, powering the equivalent of more than 4.5 million homes.

50,000% Growth?

The total amount of electricity that could potentially be generated from wind in the U.S. is estimated at 10,777 billion kWh annually—that’s nearly a 50,000% growth over today’s capacity.

New energy jobs are being created across the country, including...

  • Maple Ridge Wind Farm in New York, 300 jobs
  • Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center in Texas, 130 jobs
  • Velva in North Dakota, 50 jobs
  • Two plants in Iowa for MidAmerican Energy, 250 jobs

More plants. More jobs. For years to come.

You Or Your Overseas Competitors?

Overseas companies, primarily European, are moving in on the booming U.S. wind energy market.

The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) is pushing for more U.S.-based manufacturing of wind turbines and associated components. The opportunity is huge and the stakes are great.

This Is Your Chance

Get on the cutting edge of the soaring energy industry. Gain the knowledge and insight you need to dive into this growing industry.

Working with Today’s Energy Solutions (TES), Randy Swisher, AWEA Executive Director, will talk about the current state of the energy sector— growth potential, trends and the importance of wind power in delivering future energy requirements.
