  • Wind resource slow start to December, after having very good wind speeds through most of November
  • All regions lower week over week, except Northwest (AGR), where wind speeds and generation improved in recent days
  • For the quarter, wind generation is up 12% compared to last year – driven by a combination of new installations and better wind speeds
