National Wind Coordinating Collaborative. Date: 1/20/2009Location: Austin , TXThe University of Texas at Austin, School of Law. Austin Convention Center. This special half-day Wind Energy Primer is designed to provide landowners, ranchers, municipal and school board officials, and new entrants to the field with an overview of the economics of wind power and the wind industry, including development and leasing from the landowner's perspective, and background explanations on transmission, CREZ, the role of ERCOT, and more. This primer also offers special sessions on community and distributed wind generation of interest to landowners, school boards, municipalities and commercial enterprises considering generation power for their own use. There will be lots of opportunity for Q&A.
We invite all Primer registrants to continue on with the main Wind Energy Institute Program over the next two days, which will cover many of these issues in greater depth.
