The Indiana Office of Energy Development will host a statewide conference on wind farming July 21-22 at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis.

Windiana 2009 focuses on utility scale and small wind systems for use at homes, businesses and farms.

The American Wind Energy Association says Indiana leads the nation in the growth of wind energy.
