			<supplinf>The annual wind power estimates for this map were produced by AWS TrueWind using their Mesomap system and historical weather data.  This work was commissioned by the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, in conjunction with the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund and Northeast Utilities, and the results have been validated by NREL.  However, the data is not suitable for micro-siting potential development projects.  This shapefile was generated from a raster dataset with a 200 m resolution, in a UTM zone 19 datum WGS 84 projection system.</supplinf>

		<overview>

Wind power class is an indicator of likely resource strength, with a higher wind power class representing higher wind resource levels.  The following classification information is for utility-scale applications at a 50 meter height.

Power   Resource   50 m Wind Power
Class    Potential    Density (W/m2)
1          Poor                0 - 200
2          Marginal       200 - 300
3          Fair              300 - 400
4          Good            400 - 500
5          Excellent       500 - 600
6          Outstanding  600 - 800
7          Superb             &gt; 800
