U.S.
utilities will need to plan, finance, and build more than 52,000
MW of renewable capacity at an estimated capital cost of more
than $53 billion.
Over the past 30 years, the promise of renewable energy has been
touted widely, but the delivery has often fallen short. So, here
in 2005, how is it different? Are renewables actually ready for
prime time? Or will they generate more press releases than
kiloWatt hours? How are things different? Why the optimism?
Simply put, renewables are becoming increasingly reliable and
cost effective. Additionally, increased concern about oil and
natural gas availability and pricing, as well as ever-increasing
environmental constraints, are prompting generators and utility
executives to take renewable energy more seriously. And perhaps
most important, customers and regulators are increasingly
demanding that companies include renewables as a part of their
power portfolio.
The 2005 Renewable Energy wall map provides a visual framework
for understanding this hot topic.
The map displays:
. Existing renewable energy projects
. Proposed renewable energy projects
. Transmission infrastructure
. The industry's first comprehensive, nation-wide composite
of the latest detailed wind resource measurements
. Facility information (name, company, capacity, fuel, and
estimated on-line date where appropriate)
. Reference features of cities, counties, topography and
more for a complete view of the geographic issues
surrounding renewable energy development.
