What is the relationship of my wind resource to transmission lines?

Access to transmission is critical to any wind project and must be part of the planning process. Wind projects are built at good wind resources that have access to transmission, which is not necessarily the best wind resource available. The cost of building transmission lines to remote areas will increase projects costs significantly. Reality Check: If a developer indicates they are working with another company to build new transmission lines, ask for a letter of commitment, on the letterhead from that transmission construction company.
