AWS Truepower Supplies State-of-the Art Wind Resource Data For Wind-Wildlife Assessment Tool

“The data that AWS Truepower has provided for the AWWI/TNC Landscape Assessment Tool reflects the latest
knowledge in wind resource assessment,” said Bruce Bailey , CEO, AWS Truepower.
The wind speed map at 80m above ground is the typical hub height of wind turbines for the entire
continental US.  “We are delighted to help develop a tool that will be useful to wind power developers and the
conservation community alike,” added Bailey.

"The  Landscape Assessment Tool offers early, general guidance to assist with
the preliminary screening of  areas where wind turbines may, or may
not, pose wildlife risks, and to help with the design of conservation plans and
mitigation strategies,” said AWWI Executive Director Abby Arnold.  “AWWI
is working with partners to make this a “go-to” tool to support wind energy development while protecting wildlife and
wildlife habitat.”

AWWI and The Nature Conservancy are continually working to enhance and expand the
LAT, and are currently exploring a range of interactive applications.  The LAT is one of several initiatives that
AWWI and AWWI partners are undertaking to facilitate timely and responsible
development of wind energy while protecting wildlife and wildlife habitat.
