The price for wind farms is passed on to the customer but it is done in an invisible way. An ACIL Tasman report comparing the current long-run marginal costs for power generators revealed the difference between coal and wind energy. The 2008 report showed that by this year, wind energy projects would cost the equivalent of 97.62 per megawatt hour MWh compared with 45.99 for black coal.
Community wind projects are needed in New York State. New York has implemented a Renewable Portfolio Standard RPS that requires 25% of electricity sold in the state to come from renewable sources by 2013. In addition, New York is a home rule state which means each town is empowered by the state to write its own zoning laws. These laws determine how land within the town can be used. Each town decides whether to allow windmills, and how to regulate them. These factors make community wind a promising model for New York. |
