Wind Powering America (WPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind and Water Power Program hosted six regional meetings in March at strategic locations around the country. The purpose of the meetings was to allow industry and state government representatives, non-profit organizations, and other interested stakeholders to participate in identifying and prioritizing persistent deployment barriers while highlighting successful approaches to address the challenges identified. Among the barriers indentified...
- Public and environmental organizations' acceptance, education, and understanding of wind deployment impacts
- Lack of state markets motivating expanded wind deployment
- Limited transmission
- Complex and locally focused planning, permitting, ordinances, and development process
- Barriers to community and distributed wind, including financing and integration
- Funding for stakeholder engagement support
- Utility wind integration
- Federal permitting and access to federal lands.
