Post-2012: Wind Market Assessment of Supply, Demand & Cost (1A)<br />
(Room B401/402 – Market Updates Track)<br />
The perfect storm of strong market activity in 2011, continued market strength for 2012, and uncertainty around<br />
post-2012 markets, requires businesses to develop keen insights into demand opportunities for wind and its<br />
competitiveness. At this data-driven session, top market analysts share their insights into regional supply and<br />
demand for wind, evolution of cost competition of wind and other sources, and future expectations on market<br />
drivers such as gas prices and load growth. Other topics include change in cost landscape, regional (including<br />
Southeastern U.S.) market activity, and wind development drivers. This valuable information will help you prepare<br />
for 2012 and beyond.<br />

Development In A Seasoned Market: Where Do We Go From <strong>Here</strong>? (1B)<br />
(Room B407 – Project Development Track)<br />
The wind industry is maturing within often-strained conditions, including lower public enthusiasm, depressed<br />

focuses on best practices for developing projects, exploring how developers are responding to the constraints,<br />
including discussion on how to develop lower wind-speed sites, lessons from more mature energy industries, and<br />
new commercial opportunities for developers.<br />
