2019 UNFC Public Comments on Wind Energy Resource Specifications

Draft Specifications for the application of UNFC to Wind Energy Resources

PUBLIC COMMENT CLOSED


The Wind Energy Sub-group of the Expert Group on Resource Management (EGRM) is pleased to present for public comment the draft document “Specifications for the application of the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) to Wind Energy Resources”. The purpose of the document is to enable application of UNFC incorporating Specifications (as set out in ECE Energy Series No. 42) to wind energy resources. Growing awareness and interest in renewable energy resources, including wind energy resources, has highlighted a need to standardize how renewable energy potential is classified and reported. Reporting of wind energy resources in a consistent and comparable manner to other forms of energy will aid with the policy formulation, national and corporate resources management and provide a comparable basis for financing energy projects.
