If your State does not have a wind resource map, the national 50-meter map below can give you a macro view of wind resources in the United States. From this map, you can determine if your area of interest should be further explored. Wind resource at a micro level can vary significantly; therefore, you should get a professional evaluation of your specific area of interest. You can zoom or print the full U.S. map (PDF 2.3 MB) Download Adobe Reader.
If you are interested in how the NREL maps are created, validated, etc., please
read, "Geographic Information Systems in Support of Wind Energy Activities at NREL (PDF 817 KB) Download Adobe Reader," or many of the other GIS publications in the NREL Publications database (search using author Dennis Elliott). High resolution wind data files are also available.
If you have a disability and need assistance reading the wind map, please email the Webmaster.
