Projection: NAD 1983 HARN Transverse Mercator
Spatial Resolution of Wind Resource Data: 200m
This map was created by AWS Truewind using
the MesoMap system and historical weather data.
Although it is believed to represent an accurate
overall picture of the wind energy resource,
estimates at any location should be confirmed by
measurement.
The transmission line information was obtained by
AWS Truewind from the Global Energy Decisions
Velocity Suite. AWS does not warrant the accuracy
of the transmission line information.
