4. Global Wind Resource

5. US Wind Resource

6. Industry continues to grow – though challenged 2011 installations brought cumulative installed capacity in US to 46,916 MW –US no longer world leader in installed capacity 1,695 MW installed in 1 st Q 2012 –788 total turbines with average rated capacity of 2.15MW, 11 different turbine manufacturers 8,900 MW is under construction –Some of this will slip to 2013 –4 th Q usually strongest as projects come online by end of year –Rush to meet PTC deadline National Summary

9. State Policy

10. Majority of national leaders in wind development attained it with progressive policies Renewable Energy Portfolio standards Oklahoma home to a Renewable Energy Goal 15% renewable energy by 2015 Energy efficiency included as a component towards goal

11. Oklahoma’s Wind Statistics Oklahoma boasts 8 th best wind resource in nation Twice wind resource potential per square mile of Texas Conservative estimates show potential of 13,000 MW of installations Estimates as high as 40,000 MW of potential Home to 20 operational wind projects for total of 2,321 MW 1,265 turbines across 8 different manufacturers 5 projects currently under construction for 871 MW Projected to be 15% of in state generation by end of 2012

12. Oklahoma Wind Projects

13. Oklahoma’s Future in Wind DOE 20% Report shows OK projected to be home to 38,000 MW of wind power More likely case closer to 10,000 MW – 15,000 MW Large growth will mean exporting OK wind power across state lines Chisholm View going to Alabama Power Company Long haul DC Transmission line Would carry 7,000 MW to TN

14. Economic Development General estimates are $1.5 million/MW installed National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) created a Jobs and Economic Development Impacts model (JEDI) Takes generalized industry estimates for jobs, landowner lease payments and construction and operational impacts Users can use industry estimates or customize with actual local data JEDI estimates for current Oklahoma wind projects ~$1 billion for operational expenses ~$4 billion in total project capital investment Some actual estimates from Keenan II wind farm Sharon/Mutual school district - $579,227 Fargo School District - $288,827 Career Tech - $227,601 County General - $189,849 EMS: $56,991 County Health - $19,058 4 mill school - $75,867
