Report of the Governor's Task Force on Wind Power Development: Finding Common Ground for a Common Purpose

After a detailed review of Maineﾒs wind resource, regional and projected markets for clean power, technology trends, and Maineﾒs greenhouse gas (GHG) emission goals and policy commitments, the Task Force concludes that Maine should seek to host at least 2,000 MW of installed wind power capacity by 2015, and at least 3,000 MW by 2020. At least 300 MW of the 2020 goal could be achieved with projects built offshore.
