A Study Of Wind Powered Turbine Generation

CHAPTER SIX
CONCLUSION
As the need to stabilize the nation’s energy resource and electricity demands, renewable energy comes into play and also at a time when customers across the country are facing electricity rate hikes due to supply shortage, wind power is an attractive option to consumers and business alike.
Wind energy works because it generates energy without fuel. While providing a reliable edge against rising energy cost. Wind energy works because the wind energy industry is a good steward of the environment and provides pollution-free, domestically generated electricity to support our economy.
Wind energy power generators provides electricity which can be used immediately at the point of production, used to supply isolated loads or supplied into the national grid to alleviate and support other forms of electricity production and as well reduce the cost of electricity.
To further tap this underutilized, strategic resource, a balance energy policy should.
❷    Remove current barriers to wind energy development in electric markets rules.
❷    Support a long-term extension of the wind energy production tax credit to encourage investment in the industry and
❷    Fully tap wind energy potentials for domestic electricity production through improved access and upgrade the existing transmission lines and creation of new ones.
Wind energy will work effectively in Nigeria’s economy, environment and energy security and must be part of the nation’s energy policy if we are to achieve our country’s full energy potentials.
