Wind Powering America State Outreach Funding

This goal of the WPA is to continue to provide small awards to state energy offices (SEO). State recipients will continue to focus on state level technical assistance and outreach initiatives to stimulate wind development by helping to remove market barriers, improve the knowledge of modern wind systems and benefits to the numerous stakeholder groups. Due to limited funding availability, WPA has been forced to identify and prioritize states that offer the greatest opportunity for return on limited funding resources to stimulate wind development. The following 22 states have been targeted as priority WPA states based on programmatic criteria: Arkansas, Colorado, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

In addition, specific information regarding the DOE Wind Energy Program, the overall goals, multi-year technical program and other pertinent information can be reviewed at the DOE Wind website at URL: http://www.eere.energy.gov/windandhydro/By Laura B. on Wind Energy
