To our readership,

This is the first of an story along these lines. It has come about after our recent, well attented and highly successful O&M summit in Dallas at the beginning of the month.

Mike Jago sent us a letter in which he outlines some of his concerns about the way the wind industry stands and is going, and offers up some ideas of how the whole concept could, in his view, be refined and evolve.

The full letter can be found in our LinkedIn group here,

Highlights include:

• thoughts on a one process fitting all philosophy for different geographies
• the downside of simply upsizing,
• what can be done with prime winds during off peak demand

If you have any thoughts, comments or wish to reply to Mike, just let me know at tom@windenergyudpate.com
