Missouri Anemometer Loan ProgramDate: 12/1/2002Location: MOPhone: (573) 751-5953 The Missouri Department of Natural Resources Energy Center's Anemometer Loan Program is part of an effort to help Missouri landowners make informed decisions about the siting and use of wind turbines. This program has allowed participants to borrow anemometers and the equipment needed for installation, so they can measure the wind resource. The state has a fleet of ten, 20-meter towers and has conducted wind energy assessments at 37 locations.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is no longer taking applications for the Missouri Anemometer Loan Project.
Missouri also conducted a tall tower wind study (up to 150 meters), operated by the University of Missouri's Atmospheric Sciences Department led by Dr. Neil Fox. The tall tower wind study has completed its initial phase and is no longer formally in progress. An interim data report is available (PDF 1.2 MB) Download Adobe Reader and more information about each of the turbines is available on the Web site (scroll to the bottom of the page). A complete year of data has been collected at 11 sites and six of these have two or more years of data. However, there is still data being collected at a number of sites. Data and reports are available from Dr. Fox on request. Phone: (573) 882-2144. This information was last updated on 1/14/2010
