Wind energy has been the fastest growing source of U.S. electric power
generation in recent years. The increase in federal funding for wind
technologies and involvement of multiple agencies has raised questions
about fragmented, overlapping, or duplicative federal support. This report examines federal wind-related initiatives — programs
or groups of agency activities that promoted wind energy through a
specific emphasis or focus. It (1) identifies wind-related initiatives implemented by federal agencies in FY 2011 and their key characteristics; (2) assesses the extent of fragmentation, overlap, and duplication, if any, among these initiatives, and the extent to which they were coordinated; and (3) examines how agencies allocate support to projects through their initiatives and the extent to which they assess applicant need for support. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
