Change is in the wind: The South is looking to wind for its future power needs

In this mention

TVA is expanding its renewable energy portfolio by signing contracts for 1,380 megawatts of wind power from external suppliers and exploring local wind development through taller turbine technology. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy coordinates the Tennessee Valley and Eastern Kentucky Wind Working Group to examine wind's potential in the region, balancing the economic benefits of local generation against the superior wind resources available in the Great Plains. Major infrastructure and transmission challenges remain in delivering large-scale wind power from the Midwest to the Southeast.
