•   Determine the magnitude and geographic distribution of the wind energy resource available in Arizona
•   Assess the feasibility of commercial-scale development of Arizona’s wind resource
•   Where wind energy development is feasible, promote the commercial development the wind energy resource.
•   Assess the barriers and opportunities to wind development.
•   Promote the small wind turbine industry in the state of Arizona
