Advancement of technology results in dropping of production prices, where wind has become a serious and important component of utility generation. Wind power provides a clean source of electricity, it helps keep electric rates low and provides a hedge against fossil fuel price volatility once wind projects come on-line. Wind energy costs have dropped over the past few years as wind turbine technology has matured, with taller towers, and with improved wind turbine efficiency.

Wind energy is now one of the most cost-effective sources of new electricity generation, competing with new installations of other energy sources in wind-rich regions, where utilities can lock in wind energy prices for 20 to 30 years because the fuel is free. That's one reason wind power has added 35% of all new generating capacity to the U.S. grid since 2007– twice what coal and nuclear added combined.

Electric utilities have a unique role in bringing wind power to their retail customers. Utilities are the connection to the end-use customers who are expecting their electricity providers to use more clean energy to power their homes, schools, businesses, and institutions.
