This Webinar explored how communities and utilities benefit from the development
of wind projects. In addition to lease payments to landowners and increased tax
revenues to local governments and school districts, wind power projects create jobs,
helping to stem the decline in population/customer base in many rural areas,
increase demand for local services and supplies, and diversify utility resource
portfolios, reducing risk and price volatility. Presenters addressed these benefits
through case studies as well as presented models that can be used to estimate local
economic benefits. This information was last updated on 10/13/2009
