To him, currently, observatories are set in 21 points of the country in this direction. It purposes to learn the potential of the wind: â€œToday, in order to study the windâ€™s potential, it is necessary to determine speed, direction and durability of the wind in 80 m height. Large database is being formed and e-maps, cadastres and etc will be reflected here. Consequently, installation of wind stations will be selected by optimal waysâ€.
