Kansas Wind Working Group

The Kansas Wind Working Group (WWG) is a 33-member group announced by former Governor Kathleen Sebelius on Jan. 7, 2008. Formed through Executive Order 08-01, the WWG will educate stakeholder groups with the current information on wind energy markets, technologies, economics, policies, prospects and issues.

Governor Mark Parkinson serves as chair of the Kansas Wind Working Group.

"By opening the dialogue between advocacy groups, utility companies and communities across our state we can form a shared vision on how best to move forward with new wind projects in Kansas," said Parkinson.

The Kansas Wind Working Group will be supported by the Energy Programs Division of the Kansas Corporation Commission and the lieutenant governor's office.
