Collaborative Objectives
The NWCC's broad objectives are to provide a forum
for identifying and discussing issues that impact the use of wind power,
to catalyze actions addressing key issues, and to build consensus among
varied stakeholder groups. Consensus us defined as "all can live
with."
NWCC's activities are designed to explore and
address:
- Environmental and siting issues related to wind
power, including wildlife mortality and land use considerations;
- Wind energy electrical transmission and utility
system integration issues;
- Opportunities for self-sustaining wind generation
within the regulatory, legislative, power marketing, economic
development, and agricultural communities;
- Market barriers and obstacles to determine a
sustained orderly development path for the wind industry.
Through participation from all sectors with a stake
in the development of wind power, NWCC aims to optimize this opportunity
for the benefit of society as a whole. While encompassing many viewpoints,
the NWCC's single vision is self-sustaining commercial markets for wind
power that is environmentally, economically, and politically sustainable. |
