What crucial elements are required for Tribes to capture wind energy?
A. Tribes interested in pursuing wind energy projects require four crucial elements: wind resource, technology, market, and transmission. The wind resource should reflect high average annual wind speeds of greater consistency and duration with reliability in daily and seasonal frequency and direction. Using efficient technologies—including taller towers and larger generators—reduces the cost of the power. A market for Tribal wind power must precede project development, and transmission facilities must exist to carry the power to market. The more favorable each of these four crucial elements is, the less expensive the cost of the generated wind power will be.
