As interest in electricity generated from wind rises, many who own land in windy regions are asking very basic questions.

To answer those some of those questions, federal and regional officials developed “Harvesting the Wind – A Landowners’ Guide to Wind Energy Development in the Great Plains.”

The brief guidebook addresses key points such as:

The guide also lists contacts throughout the Great Plains regions, organizational contacts and web sites that have landowner information. A table also provides an overview of wind resources and development incentives each state in the Plains region offers.

The guidebook was developed by the Energy and Environmental Research Center at the University of North Dakota, the Plains Organization for Wind Energy Resources and the U.S. Department of Energy.
