NEW 2008 U.S. Renewable Energy Wall Map Provides a Visual Framework of the Expanding Renewable Energy Industry

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d601a5/2008_u_s_renewabl) has announced the addition of the “2008 U.S. Renewable Energy” map to their offering.

The NEW 2008 U.S. Renewable Energy Wall Map provides a visual framework of the expanding renewable energy industry.

— Wind, Biomass, Solar, Geothermal and Tidal projects are indicated by Status, Fuel, Capacity, Owner/Developer, and Name. Current as of January, 2008. Nearly 1,800 Plants!

— Transmission Infrastructure: Indicated by voltage, sited using the latest aerial imagery and field survey data.

— Proposed Transmission Lines: over 32,000 miles of proposed transmission lines – an increase of 12,000 miles over 2007!

— Nationwide Mosaic of the Latest High-Resolution Wind Resource Data: Latest data from the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory and many other sources.

— Substations Locations: Representation of over 5,000 existing and proposed electric grid interconnections offers greater information to site new projects.

— Project Locator/Data Table: Current and planned facilities are listed with name, owner, fuel, capacity, proposed on-line date and map location.

— Conventional Generation Facilities: Power Plants of 5 MW or greater fueled by non-renewable fuels such as coal, gas, oil, or uranium are indicated.

— Detailed Inset Areas: Showing areas of intense development, as well as Geothermal resources, solar intensity, and State-level existing & planned renewable capacity provide further definition. States with RPS’s are displayed.

— Detailed Reference Features: Cities, counties, the most detailed topographic representation available, and other features present a truly complete view of the geographic issues surrounding United States renewable energy.

ABOUT LAMINATION:

— We highly recommend lamination!

— Lamination helps protect and preserve the map.

— Lamination enhances the colors on the map.

— The laminated finish can be written on with dry erase markers then easily wiped off

— Laminated maps can be pinned to a wall, but are still flexible enough to be shipped in a tube.

— Glass is not needed to frame or mount a laminated map, which helps to keep the weight and cost down.
