NPPD head: Wind not enough to sustain state’s energy needs

COLUMBUS — If the Nebraska landscape was covered with wind farms, the energy produced would not sustain the state’s energy needs, according to Ron Asche during a presentation Tuesday to the Columbus Noon Rotary.

Providing Nebraska Public Power District’s (NPPD) position on energy generated from wind, Asche, NPPD president and CEO, highlighted reasons  wind energy may provide supplemental support, but it will never become a primary source for generation.

“Look outside, there is not a lot of wind. You can guess where this is going,” Asche said to the crowd of about 50 people.

“There are high loads on the system today, but no wind,” he said. “Wind is not a very stable generation facility” as wind speeds and patterns can vary significantly from hour to hour and day to day, affecting energy production.
