Massachusetts Governor Calls for 2,000 MW of Wind by 2020

Renewable Energy World: "Providing further support to a package of previously passed legislation impacting renewables development, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick set a goal of developing 2,000 megawatts (MW) of wind power capacity by 2020.
Installing 2,000 MW of wind capacity would meet an estimated 10% of the state's current electric load.
'With the growing interest in wind turbines we see in communities across the Commonwealth [of Massachusetts] and the abundant wind resource we have off our coast, wind power is going to be a centerpiece of the clean energy economy we are creating for Massachusetts,' said Patrick."
