Wind in the Great Lake State

By Kathie Zipp | March 30, 2011


Michigan’s industrial base, tuned to supporting the needs of the automotive industry, has all the expertise and capacity to handle the manufacturing needs of the wind energy industry. In fact, according to the Michigan Economic Development Corporation federal studies rank Michigan among the top four states in industrial capacity to develop and manufacture wind energy systems.

AWS Truewind has developed wind energy resource maps for the Energy Office and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory with financial support from the U.S. Department of Energy. Wind energy resource maps are estimates of wind resources and are based primarily upon computer modeling. They are intended to be suggestive of areas within Michigan that may be suitable for wind generators. Values represented for any geographic location may differ from actual conditions at the same location. Although the maps are believed to represent an accurate overall picture of the wind energy resource, estimates at any location should be confirmed by measurement before purchase or installation of any wind power systems.
