This is the data set behind the Wind Generation Interactive Query Tool created by the CEC. The visualization tool interactively displays wind generation over different time intervals in three-dimensional space. The viewer can look across the state to understand generation patterns of regions with concentrations of wind power plants. The tool aids in understanding high and low periods of generation. Operation of the electric grid requires that generation and demand are balanced in each period.,

,The site suitability criteria included in the techno-economic land use screens are listed below. As this list is an update to previous cycles, tribal lands, prime farmland, and flood zones are not included as they are not technically infeasible for development. The techno-economic site suitability exclusion thresholds are presented in table 1. Distances indicate the minimum distance from each feature for commercial scale wind development,Attributes:,,

Data provided by CPUC. Wind and Geothermal RESOLVE Regions (Draft CPUC layer) used for energy planning and modeling.

A shapefile of annual average wind resource potential for Nevada, United States at a 50 meter height. This data set has been validated by NREL and wind energy meteorological consultants. *Note*: This data is not suitable for micro-siting potential development projects. This shapefile was generated from a raster dataset with datum WGS 84 projection system. The wind power resource estimates were produced by AWS TrueWind using their MesoMap system and historical weather data under contract to Wind Powering America/NREL. This map has been validated with available surface data by NREL and wind energy meteorological consultants. For updated gridded long-term average wind data please see the "Global Wind Atlas" resource below. For more information on NREL's wind resource data development, see the "Wind Integration National Dataset (WIND) Toolkit" and the "WIND Toolkit Long-Term Ensemble Dataset" resources.

For more information, contact John Hingtgen at John.hingtgen@energy.ca.gov. The map illustrates the variation in median plant capacity across the United States and California of wind plants with nameplate capacity of at least 1 MW. Median plant capacity depends on the statewide capacity and the number of plants 0 60 120 240 Miles within the defined area.,
