One of the best little tidbits of information from this year'sWIndiana 2011 Conference held this year at the Indiana Convention Center July 20-21 is a simple little fact sheet prepared by a staffer from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC).

Almost everyone I talk to is thrilled to see the wind turbines as they drive on I-65 from Indianapolis to Chicago. OK, my universe of everyone is mostly renewable energy and distributed generation advocates. But what many people fail to realize is that merely 26% or 4.86.4 MW of a total of 1,889 MW of that wind power is going to Indiana utilities. Yeah, that's right just a tad more than one-fourth is going to Indiana ratepayers.

That's not according to me but rather from George Stevens who is a Utility Analyst with the Electricity Division of the IURC. Lots of good stuff here. Thanks, George!
