New Projects Strengthen Energy Security

WASHINGTON, DC - October 24, 2006: The U.S. wind energy industry is on track to install a record 2,750 megawatts (MW) of generating capacity in 2006, which will produce about as much electricity as is used by the entire state of Rhode Island and help strengthen energy security, the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) said today in its Third Quarter Market Report.

In other record-breaking news, one of the projects completed this quarter, FPL Energy's 735-MW Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center in Texas, has shattered all previous records for the country's and world's largest wind farm.
