The wind resource maps are a complimentary resource for on-site wind measurements for large-scale capitally intensive wind power projects. The maps are a powerful tool for utilities and developers interested in wind power.

 

The maps are provided in Adobe .pdf format. In order to properly view these documents, you require Adobe Acrobat Reader version 6.0. If you do not have this version on your computer, you may download the reader at no charge from Adobe.
