The purpose of the New Mexico Wind Plant Site Screening Model is to provide a means to economically screen potential sites for wind plant development in the State. The model requires a minimum number of inputs from the user in order to arrive at representative results, and is self-contained in terms of its data requirements with the exception of mean annual wind speed and surface roughness. This data can be obtained from the companion New Mexico Interactive Wind Map CD developed by Brower & Company of Andover, MA for the State of New Mexico Energy, Minerals & Natural Resources Department.
