The claim that wind energy is unreliable due to its intermittency and variability is misleading. Wind energy is a reliable and increasingly essential part of modern energy systems. While wind power presents challenges, advances in technology, grid integration, and complementary energy sources have made wind energy a reliable contributor to the power grid.(1)Wind energy’s intermittency can be managed effectively through energy storage, grid flexibility, and integration with other renewable sources. For example, combining wind with solar power and storage solutions improves grid reliability and reduces the need for fossil fuels.(2) Hydropower also complements wind by providing stability during low wind periods.(3) The U.S. Energy Information Administration confirms that wind energy is now a reliable part of the energy mix, contributing 10.3% of the countries energy in 2022, with infrastructure supporting its growing role.(5). Iowa and Kansas are leading examples of how dependable wind enery can be, with Iowa sourcing 58% of its electricity from wind in 2021.(4)
