Therefore, wind
power has been difficult to schedule. Using a forecasting approach would allow wind generators to
participate in day-ahead markets at a lower risk. While technology advances and government policy are increasing the
momentum behind wind power development, large wholesale electricity markets
provide the necessary element for wind power's economic success.
PJM's daylong event was called the Workshop on Wind Resources Forecasting
and RTO/ISO Integration.

Customers signing up for green power pay an additional charge each month
ranging from $3 to $5 per 150 kilowatt-hour block, depending upon the

Renewable Energy Laboratory, California Independent System Operator, ISO New
England, Independent Electricity System Operator of Ontario and the New York

It also could enhance grid
operations by providing system operations with information on how much
electricity to expect from these resources during an operating hour.
"Regional markets , such as PJM, offer wind power and other alternative
technologies a ready and vast market with many participants," said Phillip G.
Harris, PJM president and chief executive officer.

Green Power EMC has
generated more than 50 million kilowatt hours of electricity from landfill
gas, Georgia's most abundant and economical renewable resource , at two sites
that began operating in October 2003.

Collectively , the 42 customer-owned EMCs provide electricity and related
services to four million people, nearly half of Georgia's population, across
73 percent of the state's land area.
The workshop examined technologies that forecast when winds will blow and
allow grid operators to include wind power in their schedule of generation for
the next day. It was an opportunity for participants to learn about
available technology that forecasts the amount of wind, to share their
experiences in scheduling wind resources and to exchange ideas.

The Roberts Road landfill facility in Fayette County generates one
megawatt of power to the statewide electric grid, along with four megawatts of
electricity generated at the Taylor County landfill near Columbus , the site of
Georgia's first renewable energy facility., PJM Interconnection recently
conducted an industry workshop to discuss wind forecasting techniques that
enable wind-powered generation to be scheduled for use the next day as other
power sources.

"We're delighted these cooperatives made the decision to join the
renewable energy effort," said Green Power EMC President Michael Whiteside.
Created in 2001, Green Power EMC was originally a joint effort of 17
Georgia cooperatives to contract for electricity generated by renewable
resources, like biomass, solar and low-impact hydro.greenpoweremc.

At the same time, Green Power is exploring other renewable resources to
add to its generating capacity, and recently added a low impact hydroelectric
generating plant at Tallassee Shoals in Athens, Ga.

While other generation sources can be counted on to run at specific times,
wind-powered generation is available only when the wind blows.
