Utility Case Studies
A number of AWEA utilities members have chosen to share with us their wind energy story. Why they are involved in the industry, how they went about participating and how they have reached their wind energy goals. Each story is documented and presented below in an individual utility case study. The case studies are provided for your interest and learning opportunity. Learn from others who have either taken steps you may be embarking on or reached goals you too hope to meet. We thank each utility who participated in this process as it demonstrates their commitment to helping other utilities and collectively moving the industry forward.
