This paper provides an overview of the characteristics and issues related to the exploitation of wind energy. It provides guidelines for assessing the wind energy resource base and the economic potential of specific wind energy activities. It can serve as a primer for those with little or no familiarity with the technology and help those with more experience working on wind energy activities avoid pitfalls in the implementation and evaluation of those wind energy activities.
