In the last ten years, the wind energy industry has experienced many innovations resulting in wider deployment of wind energy, larger wind energy projects, larger wind turbines, and greater capacity factors. Using regression analysis, this paper examines the effects of technological improvements...

With increasing concern about carbon dioxide emissions from power generation, high natural gas costs for generating electricity, and rapidly increasing costs of constructing new power plants, energy efficiency programs are being given greater consideration by utilities and regulators. This study...

To achieve greater energy savings through energy efficiency programs, participation in those programs must increase. Community-based organizations provide a potentially effective way to reach more residential and small commercial consumers and increase the adoption of energy efficiency measures.
