Blown Away: Overcoming Variability in Wind Power Key to a Decarbonized Grid

/ Report

Wind power makes up roughly 10% of US power generation. While significant investments are in the planning stages despite policy headwinds, there remain concerns around the variability of wind resources. This article assesses how wind energy, if combined with solar and storage, can overcome intermittency and meet overall grid demand, especially for states in the Midwest and Central Plains.
