    • Annual Average Modeled Wind Speed for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands

    Metadata Updated: September 26, 2025

    Shapefiles of annual average modeled wind speed for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands at 70 and 100 m hub heights. These shapefiles were generated from a raster dataset with a 200 m resolution, in a UTM zone 19, datum WGS 84 projection system. This is supplemental data to the 50 m height data set (see "Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands High Resolution Wind Resource" link below) that was validated by NREL and wind energy meteorological consultants in 2007. Note: This data is not suitable for micro-siting potential development projects.

    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.
