Wind energy is breaking records in the Midwest. Wind provided 60 percent of the region’s electric needs earlier this month. American wind is continuing to power forward to reach new heights. Windpower 2018 is the place where wind energy comes together celebrate successes, overcome industry-wide challenges, and plan for the future.
