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 Finance Authority.
The group consists of over 80 individuals, representing utility companies, wind developers, government agencies, universities, and other interested stakeholders.
Activities of the Georgia Wind Working Group (GAWWG) in 2011 will focus on educating the public on offshore and onshore wind energy in Georgia through development and dissemination of outreach materials, including fact sheets and FAQs for North Georgia and coastal green developers, county commissioners, educators, and potential wind project host communities.
The group will also provide technical assistance and resources to interested landowners, local government officials, and schools interested in developing Wind For Schools programs.
The GA WWG plans to host four coastal and two North Georgia public forums and community leader meetings during 2011. Stay tuned to the website for information on these events.
