SUGAR LAND--September 14, 2016--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is tracking more than $2.5 billion in wind power project starts that are set to kick off from September through December 2016. Many developers are racing to begin construction before the end of 2016 in order to obtain full value of the federal government's production tax credit (PTC), which provides $0.023 per kilowatt-hour of generation for facilities beginning construction this year, but begins phasing down in value for facilities that begin construction in 2017 or later.
