Wind Facts
The Power of Two.
Wind energy is part of a “balanced energy diet”
and is a perfect complement to other conventional forms of
electricity generation. One example is wind and hydroelectric.
Over short time periods (days and weeks), hydro can be used
to compensate for variations in wind power production. Over
long time periods (years and decades), wind can be used to
compensate for fluctuations in reservoir levels, an effect
that will be increasingly felt through climate change.
The variability of wind matches the variability of demand.
Generally wind is strongest in cold-weather months when our
demand for electricity is highest.
