What is the potential of wind?
• The U.S. Department of Energy has announced a goal of obtaining 6% of U.S. electricity from wind by 2020
• Wind power could provide 20% of U.S. electricity needs by 2030

Colorado is 11th best state for wind resource

8th in nation for installed wind projects

Overview of wind
![Page 7: Wind energy team. Members Irene Shonle Dennis Kaan Mike Kostrzewa, PE, Director, CSU Wind Application Center Rebecca Cantwell, Colorado Harvesting Energy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d385503460f94a11b20/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Is my site windy enough?
• Evaluating resource is first and most important step– Anemometer loan
program data– www.engr.colostate.edu/AL
P/ALP_Sites.htm
– Wind map

Turbine siting important
• Tower height• Trees/other objects
need to be at least 300 feet away
![Page 9: Wind energy team. Members Irene Shonle Dennis Kaan Mike Kostrzewa, PE, Director, CSU Wind Application Center Rebecca Cantwell, Colorado Harvesting Energy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d385503460f94a11b20/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Scale of wind
• Small wind: for home owners, small businesses to offset electrical usage
• Big wind – leasing land to a wind developer can provide farmers/ranchers with steady income – 95% of land still useable – Need at least 60 acres per
megawatt
![Page 10: Wind energy team. Members Irene Shonle Dennis Kaan Mike Kostrzewa, PE, Director, CSU Wind Application Center Rebecca Cantwell, Colorado Harvesting Energy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d385503460f94a11b20/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Emerging – Community wind
• Municipalities, large organizations own their own turbines– Local jobs, local benefits
• Only example in CO right now is of Lamar and Springfield “piggybacking” onto large wind farm– Presence of large farm allowed these towns to buy
five 1.5 MW turbines
• NECO wind in Sedgwick, Philips, and Logan Counties will soon construct 400 MW Farm
![Page 11: Wind energy team. Members Irene Shonle Dennis Kaan Mike Kostrzewa, PE, Director, CSU Wind Application Center Rebecca Cantwell, Colorado Harvesting Energy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d385503460f94a11b20/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Potential issues
• Zoning – Varies by county, municipality
• Wildlife
• Noise
• Viewshed
• Transmission (big wind only)
• Difficult to find good information, independent testing

To learn more:– Come to agent training in spring (TBA)
• February? Eastern Plains?
– In-depth resources on website• http://www.ext.colostate.edu/energy/wind.html
– New fact sheets• Small wind - finished• Big wind -under review• Understanding wind resources -under
development

Upcoming from team
• Working on national wind curriculum with 8 other states– Wind webinars– more fact sheets on eXtension
• Small wind turbine to be installed outside Gilpin Extension Office
