Wind power is reliable. Electricity from a wind power facility is connected to a fully integrated, diversified utility transmission system. When the wind project is not generating during low wind, similar to a hydro plant when there are low flow conditions, power is compensated by other generators in the system. Wind project’s reliability is measured by their availability to run, which often is recorded in the 95-98% of the time range.
