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) |
