Abstract: Integrating Environmental Considerations into
Wind 
Power
Project Siting
Power Project Siting
P.E.
Wind power has experienced tremendous growth in the U.S.
over the past few years. Along with this dramatic increase
in project development, competition for the "best" spots has
locations. Wind power
development companies must make
strategic decisions regarding the sites in which they will invest.
These decisions are driven by a number of technical and
commercial factors. The industry is constantly improving its
practices regarding pre-development siting, with the intent of
identifying "fatal flaws" or comparing sites in order to prioritize
them for investment. The presentation will discuss some of the
approaches being taken for this pre-development siting, with a
specific focus on the integration of environmental considerations
into siting analysis.
