Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Two recent Power Industry tradeshows held in the past two weeks in Chicago have shed light on the future of power generation project development in North America. First, at WindPower 2009 held early this month, it was apparent that wind power had won the popularity contest. Attendance at the conference was up 50% and a record number of new and old companies are lining up to do business in this growth sector, which is attracting a slew of federal incentives. The second trade show, Electric Power 2009, featured keynote speakers from American Electric Power (NYSE:AEP), Dynegy (NYSE:DYN) and Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC), among others, who discussed the state of the industry, which is facing increasing pressure to increase capacity and maintain existing base-load fleet, while at the same time being more efficient and environmentally responsible.
