Wind energy is one of the more technologically mature forms of renewable energy that Caribbean stakeholders are seeking to deploy as the region transitions to sustainable energy. However, it is almost entirely dependent on location, and the output of a wind farm is highly sensitive to the nature of the resource. How are wind energy resources assessed, and what critical factors should project developers and planners consider? What effects will climate change have on wind project development? The CCREEE hosted a capacity building session on Wind Resource Assessment, to address these questions and more. The session covered the following modules:...
