We are excited to be coming to Chicago,” said Kevin Stephens, PPG’s General Manager. "The 'windy city' offers an ideal mix of hospitality and exhibition facilities in a vibrant downtown setting." The Windpower Conference & Exhibition has become one of the most successful and fastest-growing industry shows in the United States. Sold exhibition space for Windpower 2009 already exceeds that of Windpower 2008, which was 85% larger than the previous year. Windpower was recently listed in Tradeshow Week magazine’s latest installment of its prestigious 50 Fastest-Growing Shows in North America.

   
According to estiamtes from AWEA, by 2025, Illinois could see US $8 billion in investment in new wind projects that would generate 4,000 megawatts (MW) of power to meet the state’s growing electricity demand and its renewable electricity standard. The state enacted a renewable electricity standard in 2007 requiring that 25% of all power for residential and small commercial customers be provided from renewable energy resources by 2025.   blades1.jpg
