CalWEA is a non-profit corporation supported by members of the wind energy industry, including project developers and owners, turbine manufacturers, support contractors and others. CalWEA represents its members in California's policy forums, seeking to encourage and support the production of electricity through the use of wind generators.
If California kills the Fountain Wind Project, sited on private, active timberland next to a successful 15-year-old wind project, it will chill investment in the wind projects that California needs to meet the CPUC's 9-GW in-state wind target. Worse, the Energy Commission staff's reasoning could kill any renewable energy project.
