Summary

Optimizing location planning for wind turbines is crucial to meet the global goal of reaching net zero by 2050. A site selection process must balance remote but not too remote locations, proximity to residents and infrastructure, high wind speeds, and ecological sensitivity. The guide uses boolean and ranked criteria to filter potential sites in the north-west USA, considering factors such as powerline proximity, highway accessibility, protected areas, and population density. The analysis utilizes CARTO Workflows, a visual low-code analytics tool, to rank locations based on average wind speeds and population size within 18.6 miles of each cell, resulting in a suitability index for wind farms, with areas like Central Montana emerging as promising locations.
