DOE Wind Report: 67 Percent Domestic Content in Wind Turbines

The DOE Wind Technologies Market Report for 2011 generally tracks with the numbers of AWEA’s Annual Market Report released in the spring. The government report also provides information on such areas as domestic content for wind turbines and the overall cost of wind energy. Facing looming policy uncertainty beyond 2012, when the wind energy Production Tax Credit is slated to expire, the U.S. remained one of the fastest-growing wind power markets in the world in 2011 — second only to China — according to the report, which was prepared by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Over 6,800 MW of new wind power capacity were connected to the U.S. grid in 2011. Also tracking with AWEA’s analyses, new wind power installations are widely expected to be substantially higher in 2012 than in 2011.
