Criteria

Justifications

Wind Speed (W)

Wind turbines depend on having enough wind speed to rotate the wind turbine blades to generate electricity

Rainfall (R)

Areas with more rainfall will generate more runoff which will have an effect on the wind turbines sites

Altitude (A)

Areas with higher altitude have the potential of getting more winds than their surrounding

Slope (S)

Areas with high slope will generate more runoff. Also, high slopes cause technical difficulties when installing wind turbines

Land use (L)

Land uses are important for environmental and socio-economic reasons. It is imperative not to degrade the economical value of the land that has a fundamental use. Also, it is significant not to damage the environment; mainly the wild life (Flora and Fauna)
