In some wind-rich regions of the country wind producers are paying grid operators to take their generation during periods of surplus supply. But wind producers more than make up the cost of the negative price payment because they receive a 22 MWH federal production tax credit for every MWH generated. The federal wind Production Tax Credit PTC was originally enacted in 1992 to jumpstart the wind energy The PTC has since been .
