Abstract

This paper proposes novel public policies aimed at incentivizing wind energy generation in the United States. In response to the imperative of transitioning to sustainable energy sources, the study explores innovative approaches to promote and accelerate the adoption of wind power. Furthermore, the research employs the LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning) software for energy planning to simulate the forecasted impact of these proposed policies on the wind energy supply in the USA. By integrating policy recommendations with simulation results, this study provides a comprehensive analysis to guide policymakers and stakeholders in fostering the growth of wind energy as a pivotal component in the country’s renewable energy landscape.
