The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) today issued the following statement by AWEA Policy Director Rob Gramlich on plans by a group of organizations to seek an investigation into pricing of electricity in regions served by Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs): “The real problem is the lack of infrastructure that creates costly and unpredictable congestion as well as a viewpoint held by some that price signals alone lead to transmission infrastructure. On those points, we believe we agree with most of the entities involved in this complaint and hope to continue working with them to improve the nation’s transmission infrastructure." (Please see here the letter dated February 26, 2007, from AWEA and other organizations to Federal Electricity Regulatory Commission Chairman Joseph T. Kelliher, which provides additional detail on this issue.)
AWEA, formed in 1974, is the national trade association of the U.S. wind energy industry. The association's membership includes turbine manufacturers, wind project developers, utilities, academicians, and interested individuals.
