			<supplinf>This data set has been validated by NREL and wind energy meteorological consultants.  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 14 datum WGS 84 projection system.</supplinf>

		<overview>
			<eaover>
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
