The\nsite suitability criteria included in the techno-economic land use screens are\nlisted below. As this list is an update to previous cycles, tribal lands, prime\nfarmland, and flood zones are not included as they are not technically\ninfeasible for development. The techno-economic site suitability exclusion\nthresholds are presented in table 1. Distances indicate the minimum distance\nfrom each feature for commercial scale wind development

Title:\nTechno-economic screening criteria for utility-scale wind energy installations\nfor Integrated Resource Planning

\n\n

Purpose for\ncreation: These site suitability criteria are for use in electric system\nplanning, capacity expansion modeling, and integrated resource planning.


\n\n

Keywords: wind\nenergy, resource potential, techno-economic, IRP


\n\n

Extent: western\nstates of the contiguous U.S.

\n
\n

Use Limitations

\n
\n

The\ngeospatial data created by the use of these techno-economic screens inform\nhigh-level estimates of technical renewable resource potential for electric\nsystem planning and should not be used, on their own, to guide siting of\ngeneration projects nor assess project-level impacts.
