DOE Releases New Wind Resource Map

The Energy Department, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and AWS Truepower provide the wind resource map below that shows land-based with offshore resources. This map is the first to provide wind developers and policy makers with a seamless representation of the wind resources estimated at a 100-m height for all 50 states—the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, and Hawaii—as well as offshore resources up to 50 nautical miles from shore.
