Title: Oregon Wind Energy Areas
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: vector digital data
Description:
Abstract: These are Wind Energy Areas for Oregon released in 2024. They were developed based on extensive outreach and suitability modeling. The suitability modeling process was a joint effort between BOEM and NOAA NCCOS. The report (A Wind Energy Area Siting Analysis for the Oregon Call Area) describing the methods is available on the BOEM website: https://www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/state-activities/Oregon
Purpose: Wind Energy Areas (WEA) from the NCCOS/BOEM suitability modeling.
