A good question from Molly, response as follows.
Currently NYS allows intertying of wind power systems with the grid, but
unlike PV power, there is no provision for net metering, i.e. you don't get
paid anything for extra power above your level of consumption that goes out
on the grid. Of the 30 US states that allow some type of net metering, 28
already allow net metering of wind power, and we should be able to get this
in NYS as well. Senate bill 2054 is basically a revision of NYS's existing
net metering legislation, which among other things, includes wind power as
well as PV.
BTW there was no attached file, my email reader stuck that text in for some
reason...
RSVP if anyone has questions about this.
