United States Renewable Energy Resource on the Increase
The NEW 2008 U.S. Renewable Energy Wall Map provides a visual framework of the expanding renewable energy industry.
The map displays:
- Wind, Biomass, Solar, Geothermal and Tidal projects are indicated by Status, Fuel,
Capacity, Owner/Developer, and Name. Current as of January, 2008. Nearly 1,800 Plants!
- Transmission Infrastructure: Indicated by voltage, sited using the latest aerial imagery and field survey data.
- Proposed Transmission Lines: over 32,000 miles of proposed transmission lines –
an increase of 12,000 miles over 2007!
- Nationwide Mosaic of the Latest High-Resolution Wind Resource
Data: Latest data from the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory and many other sources.
- Substations Locations: Representation of over 5,000 existing and proposed
electric grid interconnections offers greater information to site new projects.
- Project Locator/Data Table: Current and planned facilities are listed with
name, owner, fuel, capacity, proposed on-line date and map location.
- Conventional Generation Facilities: Power Plants of 5 MW or greater fueled
by non-renewable fuels such as coal, gas, oil, or uranium are indicated.
- Detailed Inset Areas: Showing areas of intense development, as well as
Geothermal resources, solar intensity, and State-level existing & planned
renewable capacity provide further definition. States with RPS’s are displayed.
- Detailed Reference Features: Cities, counties, the most detailed topographic
representation available, and other features present a truly complete view of the
geographic issues surrounding United States renewable energy.
