The Market for Wind Energy

Commercial & Military

Conditions indicate increasing opportunity for alternative energy
Energy cost escalation and declining fossil fuel reserves ($100/barrel oil)
Increased nationalization or taxation of energy resources by exporting countries
Worldwide demand for energy is rapidly increasing
Environmental pressure to reduce greenhouse gases and pollution
Increasing use of tax incentives for producing or using renewable energy
Potential legislation requiring up to 25% of electricity production to be renewable by 2025

Tremendous Growth Potential - According to the AWEA U.S. Small Wind Turbine Industry Roadmap, 3% of US electrical consumption could be generated by small wind turbines by 2020.
This same report shows recent growth of this industry at 40% per year.
Ohio’s electric generation capacity is 33,877 MW with wind comprising only 0.02%. There is tremendous potential for growth in Ohio and in the rest of the US and world.
To reach 3% of State of Ohio electric capacity, over 100,000 wind turbines will be needed, assuming an average wind turbine size of 10 kW.

Going Green
- The AF and DoD have strongly embraced alternative energy to attain a battle field advantage and to reduce energy costs domestically
Reducing Vulnerability
- Forward deployed military rely heavily on fossil-fuel generator systems and battlefield equipment
- The logistics required to transport fuel diverts valuable resources and creates soft, but strategic targets for the enemy
