Sub-regional workshop on wind energy utilization, 23-27 June 1997

Wind Power Development - Resource Monitoring (continued) : To encourage and assist member countries in particular the Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Tonga and Vanuatu in continuing the monitoring of their wind power resources.

The regional energy program completed a two-year wind-monitoring program in 1997. Upon completion
of the project, participating countries were supplied with a lap top computer for downloading the data, an anemometer,
data logger and all the necessary accessories. The participating countries continued to identify wind monitoring as a
priority, however a number have been unable to been able to continue their wind monitoring program primarily due to
funding constraints. This project was intended to assist these participating countries to continue with their wind monitoring
but at different sites thus providing more data about their wind power potential
