Filing: 78-Request for Inspection (English)

...Wind Studies on the wind energy potential of Kosovo vary widely. One study [8] was based on meteorological data collected at 10 potential project sites throughout the country. 7 of these 10 sites were found to have wind speeds to slow for commercial viability. Of the remaining 3 locations, the highest wind speed was measured at BBUD, in Budakova. The modeled wind resource at this location is shown in the Figure 9. The estimated annual average wind speed at 38 meters is estimated to be 6.9 ...

Downwind of the project site the land use is primarily large game farms with low density human population.

Measured currents very near to the surface were not used, however, nor were wind records explicitly used to predict current movement very near to the surface. These phenomena will be further investigated through the use of wind records extending over a period of several years. 13. Annex B assumes winds from the nort...
