The Georgia Wind Working Group started in Spring 2005 through a partnership involving Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, Georgia Institute of Technology's Strategic Energy Institute, and the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority.
The group consists of over twenty people, representing utility companies, wind developers, government agencies, universities, and other interested stakeholders.
Activities of the Georgia Wind Working Group (GAWWG) in 2007-2008 will focus on the development and dissemination of outreach materials for North Georgia and coastal green developers, county commissioners, educators, and potential wind project host communities. The group will also provide outreach to rural communities on opportunities for funding through the federal farm bill, including Section 9006; educate policy makers about wind energy opportunities; and solicit private funds to set up a Georgia loan anemometer program. The GAWWG will assess the feasibility of developing a Wind for Schools program and compile a developer-friendly list of state and federal regulatory acts and incentives that pertain to wind energy projects in the state. The GAWWG also plans to host an offshore wind energy roundtable in coastal Georgia.
