Assoc. at the 2010 Michigan Wind Energy Conference with its first Leadership in
Renewable Energy Award. The award recognized her tireless efforts to diversify
the state’s economy by providing job-creating, clean-energy solutions for
Michigan. It was also announced that all future leadership awards will be
entitled the Granholm Leadership in Renewable Energy Award. In making the
award, GLREA President Howard Edelson cited the enactment of a renewable
portfolio standard, the use of federal Recovery Act funding to help four
Michigan manufacturers to retool their facilities for the wind-energy sector,
programs that have helped 100 Michigan companies to become part of wind
manufacturing, and the No Worker Left Behind program that works with
Michigan’s clean-energy companies to retrain Michigan workers. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

standardize references to “energy saved”, rather than such variable
calculations as “avoided powerplants” or “cars off the

Dr. Rosenfeld at the University of California Davis. The Rosenfeld is
equivalent to the following: coal plant capacity of 500 MW, capacity factor of
70%, and systemwide T&D losses of 7% . This combination of parameters would
yield annual electricity delivered at the meter of about 3 BkWh/year. Using the
