About this Training Course Wind has surpassed hydro-power generation in many countries recently. Wind energy offers many advantages, which explains why it's one of the fastest-growing energy sources in the world. The following are the advantages of wind power: Wind power is cost effective: Land-based utility-scale wind is one of the lowest-priced energy sources available today The fuel for wind power is free. This reduces the operation and maintenance cost of wind power plants significantly Wind is a clean source of power generation that does not pollute the air like power plants which rely on combustion of fossil fuel Wind power plants create jobs. Wind turbine technician is the fastest growing career in many countries Wind enables industry growth and competitiveness due to its low cost Wind power is a domestic source of energy.
