The wind energy industry in Iowa is experiencing many of the same difficulties that has slowed expansion across the country, according to a recent report. Reduced electricity demand, cheaper natural gas, tighter lending policies and the lack of a clear federal policy all combined to create a significant slowdown in the pace of new U.S. turbine installations in 2010.
In Iowa, roughly 10 gigawatts of wind-generated power were added in 2008 and 2009. In 2010, the amount is expected to less than half that amount when the totals are compiled.
