Overview

This shapefile, which represents an estimate of the annual average wind resource, was generated from original raster data by TrueWind, LLC for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The original cell resolution for the Mid-Atlantic region was 200 meters, and the shapefile resolution is 1/3 degree of latitude by 1/4 degree longitude. The region includes Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Data for the state of West Virginia was clipped from the original shapefile by the WVGIS Technical Center in January 2009.
