Wind Power is the World's Fastest Growing Energy Source

The world capacity for generating power from wind grew by
2,100 megawatts in 1998, a new all-time record for growth in
wind power, according to preliminary estimates by the
Worldwatch Institute. The wind power boom was led by
Germany, which added 800 megawatts, but the United
States also added 235 megawatts in 10 states. The surge in
U.S. wind power was the largest since 1986, with large
projects built in Minnesota, Wyoming, and Oregon.

World wind power has doubled in capacity in the past three
years, making it the world's fastest growing energy source.
The world capacity for wind power reached 9,600 megawatts
at yearend.

CEC Funds 14 New Renewable Projects

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has approved
funding agreements for 14 renewable power plants to be
built in various California locations. The power plants will add
nearly 90 megawatts of renewable energy to California's
electricity generation mix. The projects include 62
megawatts of wind power in nine projects, 22 megawatts of
landfill gas methane recovery in four projects, and one
3.8-megawatt biomass power plant.

CEC will provide a total of $162 million in funding to the
14 power plants. The funding is part of the $540 million
renewables fund created as part of the restructuring of
California's electric industry.
