Wind Resource Assessments
Wind Resource Maps and Estimates Show Increased Potential for United States
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and consulting firm AWS Truewind, LLC have developed new wind resource maps and wind potential tables for the United States, the first comprehensive update of wind energy potential since 1993.
