Project development tool: Vote Wind

Developed with funding from the ELN, VoteWind is our new open-source community wind planning map. Bringing together multiple planning constraints and wind speed data into a single visual map, it is designed to make it easier for our members and the wider public to identify sites in their local areas that are most suitable for a community wind turbine. This can then speed up the early feasibility process and guide people to the best resources in the sector to take their projects forward. Its 3D visualiser also gives people an early view of how it would look in their local landscape.

It is designed to work alongside other community engagement tools like Future Energy Landscapes, Community Energy GO, and the GB Energy Community Fund.
