Colin Bennett on 15 May 09Building off sharp growth in 2007‐2008, US wind power development in 2009 has been impacted dramatically by the current economic climate-and US wind players must readjust their strategies in the wake of this new competitive environment. The US wind power industry finished 2008 at a record pace with 8,546 MW of new wind plant added, led by Texas, Iowa, New York, Kansas, and Wyoming. EER forecasts a sharp decline in 2009, but a rebound in 2010 and growth of 12 GW per year on average from 2010‐2020 to supply nearly 14% of total US power demand.
