Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1985026· OSTI ID:1985026
The goal of this assessment was to provide a high-level overview of distributed wind development potential at correctional facilities across the United States. The assessment considered the wind resource, electricity rates, and electricity consumption at facilities. In total, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) estimates that 2,421 facilities in 1,280 counties, projected to consume a combined 12,000 GWh/year, have the potential to host distributed wind projects.
