Indiana Wind Working Group
State wind working groups are changing energy landscapes across the nation. Since 1999, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind Powering America program has emphasized a state-based approach to deployment of wind energy technologies with a focus on state wind working groups. The Indiana Wind Working Group (IWWG) was created by the Office of Energy and Defense Development in 2005 and Program Manager Travis Murphy serves as coordinator.
The Wind Powering America (WPA) Wind Working Groups develop multi-stakeholder efforts to facilitate workshops, manage anemometer loan programs, and hold landowner and community meetings. The groups work with the agricultural, energy, legislative, and regulatory sectors, and develop relationships with county officials.
WPA Wind Working Groups offer valuable forums to examine issues, gather stakeholders to develop solutions, and provide an effective networking tool. These groups demonstrate that a state is proactive about wind power development. They can be instrumental in overcoming initial market barriers to wind energy and initiating the first projects. The lessons learned from the experiences of such a group provide valuable insight to renewable energy technology outreach and acceptance in other states.
