The presentation will explore the viability of wind generation in Illinois. Specifically, we will discover why developers locate in Illinois, what they look for when they place a wind project, as well as some of the concerns, obstacles, requirements and financial incentives associated with any wind turbine development. We will review newer technologies used to convert wind energy to electrical energy as well as the specific information on a new commercial wind farm recently located in Illinois.
