The route to successful wind project development has become longer, riskier, and more expensive. In this challenging environment, project developers are tapping into new and alternative sources of capital to fund the development process. This session explores the innovative approaches, tools, and techniques used to obtain funding for project development. Session Chair: Randy Mann, Vice President, Development, Edison Mission Energy Moderator: Paul Holshouser, Senior Financial Analyst  , American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) TBA, Financing Project Development - Prospective from Financial Investor TBA, Financing Project Development Via Alternate Route - Prospective from Financial Investor TBA, Financing Development with Investments from Strategic Owner/Operators Ray Henger, Chief Financial Officer, OwnEnergy, Inc. Capital sources and structures for project financing mid-sized wind farms (20-80 MW’s) Education Level of Your Session: Advanced The Finance Track is sponsored by Chadbourne & Parke and Troutman Sanders Community Toolbox: Overcome Wind Energy Opposition at the Community Level (6B) (Room B407 – Siting Track) Poll after poll shows wide support for wind energy in the U.S., but unfortunately, developers face increasing opposition from local communities fed by misunderstanding and exaggeration. This session provides new research from NREL on evaluating the market impacts of social acceptance of wind energy, a framework for developing community support for wind projects, and positive community wind project case studies. At the end of this session you will have new tools in your NIMBY toolbox to help ease community opposition to your next project. Session Chair / Moderator: Amy Berry, Acciona Wind Energy USA, LLC Ian Baring Gould, Technology Deployment Manager, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Managing and Evaluating the Market Impacts of the Social Acceptance of Wind Energy Richard Delaney, Principal Consultant / Trainer, Delaney & Associates Inc. From Energy Security to Nimbyism - Community Engagement Bridging the Gap Philip Warburg, Author, Harvest the Wind Telling the Story: Real People's Voices Bringing Wind Power to Life Chris Forrest, Vice-President, Communications and Marketing, Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) Ontario: A Case Study in Addressing Organized Opposition Education Level of Your Session: Intermediate Utility Strategies for Wind Power: Case Studies (6C) (Room B309 – Utility Track) Experts from the leading utilities share case studies, and dissect the latest issues, trends, and business models related to wind power. Learn how the investor owned and public utilities in the U.S. acquire wind energy, which utilities use power purchase agreements (PPAs), how those PPAs impact their business, which utilities own wind projects and how they obtained support for their strategy, and how they plan to operate and maintain their turbines. Hear best practices and get invaluable insights and perspectives from a panel discussion on various wind power topics, including experiences, challenges, and successes.

Rick Olesen, VP of Operations and Engineering, Iowa Lakes Electrical Coop Education Level of Your Session: Intermediate The Role of Wind Power in Economic Development and Jobs Creation (6D) (Room B312 – Supply Chain Track) Wind power development – both wind projects and wind turbine manufacturing facilities – provide a myriad of benefits in terms of strengthening the tax base of communities, increasing jobs in the clean energy sector, and bringing about economic development and growth in the regions where wind developments occur. This session explores several aspects of wind power economic development, including the siting of manufacturing facilities, and the benefits from wind project development and manufacturing facilities. Session Chair: Jeff Anthony, AWEA Moderator: Mark Tholke, Vice President, Origination, Southwest Region, enXco, Inc. Mark Nolte, Director of Business Development, ICAD Group Best Practices for Locating Wind Energy Manufacturing in the US Dave Lopez, Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce and Tourism, Oklahoma Department of Commerce Partnership - Securing Oklahoma's Energy Future Elizabeth Umberson, Plant Manager, ZF Wind Power Gainesville, LLC ZF Case Study on Selecting Gainesville, GA for Their Manufacturing Facility Jennifer Banks, Wind Energy Project Coordinator, North Carolina Solar Center North Carolina's Wind Industry Supply Chain Assets Education Level of Your Session: Intermediate Wind Turbine Blade Design, Analysis, and Manufacturing (Scientific) (6E) (Room B314 – Turbine Design Track) New measurement tools have given engineers greater flexibility in designing blades – and the outcome is higher electricity generation and better aerodynamic characteristics. This advanced session investigates and analyzes new measurement and process planning tools. The presenters explore the advantages of new innovative and turbine blade designs, and makes recommendations for addressing failure modes in either the design phase or by experimental programs. Session Chair: Marshall Buhl, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Moderator: Dan Brake, Wind Fleet Team Manager, NextEra Energy Perry Johnson, Graduate student, University of California, Los Angeles Structural Design of a 100-Meter Multiplane Wind Turbine Blade Frank Peters, Associate Professor, Iowa State University Measurement, Analysis and Process Planning for the Layup of Fabrics in Wind Turbine Blades Find Mølholt Jensen, Chief Technology Officer, Bladena Scale-up of Wind Turbine Blades – Changes in Failure Type Education Level of Your Session: Advanced The Turbine Design Track is sponsored by Moventas 19
