Afghanistan Wind Power Density at 50-m Above Ground Level GIS Data
This dataset was developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for the [U.S. Agency for International Development'](http://www.usaid.gov/)s (USAID) [South Asia Regional Initiative for Energy Cooperation](http://www.sari-energy.org/) (SARI/E). The dataset contains Wind Power Density at 50-m Above Ground Level in the form of a GIS shapefile. The data were output in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) format and incorporated into a Geospatial Toolkit (GsT) which is provided in data resources. The GsT allows the user to examine the resource data in a geospatial context along with other key information relevant to renewable energy development, such as transportation networks, transmission corridors, existing power facilities, load centers, terrain conditions, and land use.
