Topics covered include:

• Stimulus Grants and the DOE Loan Guarantee Program – the Administration has provided $2.5 billion in grants for R&D and Demonstration projects; expanded the Loan Guarantee Program by $5 billion; as well as promised to streamline the application processes and speed the release of funds to biofuels plants and other projects under these programs.

• The Production Tax Credit vs. the Investment Tax Credit – review of the varying incentive programs available for wind energy projects.

• Grants In Lieu of Tax Credits – consideration of when grants will provide the highest value for projects.

• The Pending Smart Grid and how this is likely to impact the rapidly growing but transmission constrained wind industry in the U.S.
