A 2001 study estimated that the Dominican Republic had a wind generation potential of 68, 300GWh per year, equivalent to more than six times its current power production.

When applying a physical methodology, the modeling of the function which gives the wind generation from NWPs at given locations around the wind farm is done once for all.
45.
However, the wind generation capacity factor for 2010 was approx . 23.5 %, giving an annual average wind energy penetration of approx . 11 % of total kWh consumed.

In 2011, ENMAX Energy launched its Generate Choice, a program which offers Albertans home-based renewable energy choices such as solar power and wind generation ( ENMAX 2011 : 7 ).
47.
The cost of wind and geothermal energy is currently on a par with that of natural gas; wind generation averages 5 cents a kilowatt hour and geothermal averages 7 cents.
48.
The prevailing westerly winds in the Manawatu-Southern Hawkes Bay region provide a consistent Median Wind Velocity which is the key relevant measure for wind generation as a renewable energy source.
49.
Others have gone on to form new businesses like DKRW Energy, a venture created by former Enron executives to produce electricity from wind generation and to import natural gas to Mexico.
