US Geological Survey, Fort Collins Science Center 2011 Unknown vector digital data The New Mexico wind-turbine data series provides geospatial data for all wind turbines established within the State as of August 2009. Attributes specific to each turbine include: turbine location, manufacturer and model, rotor diameter, hub height, rotor height, potential megawatt output, land ownership, and county. Wind energy facility data for each turbine include: facility name, facility power capacity, number of turbines associated with each facility to date, facility developer, facility ownership, year the facility went online, and development status of wind facility. Turbine locations were derived from 1-meter August 2009 true-color aerial photographs produced by the National Agriculture Imagery Program; the photographs have a positional accuracy of about ±5 meters. The location of turbines under construction during August 2009 likely will be less accurate than the location of existing turbines. This data series contributes to an Online Interactive Energy Atlas currently (2011) in development by the U.S. Geological Survey. The Energy Atlas will synthesize data on existing and potential energy development in Colorado and New Mexico and will include additional natural resource data layers. This information may be used by decisionmakers to evaluate and compare the potential benefits and tradeoffs associated with different energy development strategies or scenarios. Interactive maps, downloadable data layers, comprehensive metadata, and decision-support tools will be included in the Energy Atlas. The format of the Energy Atlas will facilitate the integration of information about energy with key terrestrial and aquatic resources for evaluating resource values and minimizing risks from energy development.

Turner Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.1.3000 The attribute accuracy was tested by summarizing each field and comparing the results against the source documentation. Every attempt was made to utilize the best information available however much of the information was not consistent between the various sources. In these cases, the attributes were derived from the most reliable sources and/or the most commonly occurring data. Attributes for Developer and Owner were particularly difficult to decipher because many of the companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of larger companies. ArcGIS software is used to create and maintain topological relationships between features. There are no duplicate features. All existing turbines as of 8/15/2009 have been mapped and attributed with the best information available. Wind turbines locations are based on the best approximated location of the wind turbine's base. This was not always easily accomplished, because some wind turbines were under construction. Estimated accuracy is +/- 6 meters.
