Wyoming - Wind

It is important to have an understanding of potential impacts of wind development on affected wildlife in Wyoming.

Recommendations have been made as the result of a decision by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission (WGFC) to address the need to protect wildlife resources while wind energy is developed in the state. The recommendations are a proactive step toward balancing Wyoming’s desire to provide renewable energy to out-of-state consumers while affording adequate protection of the state’s wildlife resources from activities associated with development of a wind industry.
