Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explain the human and physical requirements for wind farm sites and evaluate potential site locations.

Show transcript
Wind speeds are higher in offshore, high-altitude, flat areas as they are less sheltered. Wind farms should be located far from densely populated areas and close to the electricity grid. Many people campaign against wind farms due to the noise and visual impact. Geographers often use a cost benefit analysis to help make decisions. OS maps are a good source of information for potential sites.
