This paper analyzes the impact of the federal Production Tax Credit on the development of wind energy in the US. Following an analysis of the incentives these policies produce for wind energy generation and integration, this paper finds that, although the Production Tax Credit has proven effective at promoting some level of wind power development, the effectiveness of the Production Tax Credit varies by region and by itself is unlikely to achieve the deep levels of wind power penetration desired by some policymakers and the U.S. Department of Energy.

This paper attempts to determine an optimal level for the wind energy production tax credit based on the carbon dioxide reduction potential of wind energy. The optimal level is calculated using a conservative value for the social cost of carbon and an upper bound for the carbon dioxide reduction potential of wind energy. Even under the most efficient wind energy operation conditions, the reduction in carbon dioxide is not substantial enough to warrant the current value of the production tax credit. Further study is needed to determine why it is so overvalued.
