The first meeting of the Tennessee Wind Working Group took place in the fall of 2004 bringing together many of the people and organizations interested in wind power in the state. The State of Tennessee already has the first commercial wind farm in the southeast, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Buffalo Mountain wind farm, as well as a new wind tower manufacturer and wind energy facility construction company. The working group holds quarterly meetings, runs a small anemometer loan program for wind monitoring, hosts an annual fall wind workshop, holds regular public presentations, and is developing a school outreach program. The working group works to promote small residential scale wind power and is working on a state action plan to promote more commercial scale development. In addition, the group maintains a Yahoo group site to exchange information on wind power.
