WINDExchange
WINDExchange continues DOE’s efforts to make high-quality information and outreach materials readily available, including:
- Maps of wind resources and installed wind capacity
- A bimonthly e-newsletter
- Webinars
- Publications
- Educational programs
- OpenEI online resources such as the Small Wind Guidebook, Wind for Schools Portal, and Wind Working Group Toolkit.
In addition, WINDExchange aims to provide new tools, such as wiki-based resources, to help stakeholders better understand wind energy and exchange best practices. WINDExchange is still under development and suggestions about useful information are welcome.
Subscribe to the WINDExchange biweekly e-newsletter to learn about new materials.
