Abstract

Wind power in the United States presents an unprecedented op-
portunity to simultaneously address key issues surrounding energy
security and climate change. A recently released study has determined
what it would take to have the U.S. obtain 20% of its electricity from
wind power by the year 2030*. This study outlines a number of public
policy and strategic implications of achieving this target. The engineer-
ing challenges associated with expanding the contribution of wind en-
ergy to our nation’s power supply provides a number of daunting and
aggressive targets that will need to be met.

Author Biography

Jeff Anthony, American Wind Energy Association

Jeff Anthony joined the American Wind Energy Association
(AWEA) in March 2007. As AWEA’s manager of utility programs and
policy, he is responsible for supporting utilities in their efforts to inte-
grate and adopt wind power as a mainstream generation technology. He
works with individual utilities across the U.S. as they expand their use
of wind power, to aid them in their understanding of wind’s bene fits,
and to help them address integration and other implementation issues.
Jeff also provides support to other policy development areas in AWEA.
Prior to joining AWEA, Jeff worked at We Energies (Wisconsin Electric)
for 19 years, most recently as the manager of renewable energy strategy.
Mr. Anthony graduated from Purdue University with a B.S. in nuclear
engineering and received an Executive MBA from Northwestern Uni-
versity. He may be contacted at janthony@awea.org.
