5. NEPCO شركة الكهرباء الوطنية 5 Energy Strategy 2007 Maximize the Local primary Energy Issuance the RE law. Establishment of the Energy Fund.

6. NEPCO شركة الكهرباء الوطنية 6 Government Facilities Toward RE Providing land lease free of charge. Interconnection facilities. Exempted from taxes and custom duties. The Gov. undertakes to purchase electricity within appropriate pricing.

7. NEPCO شركة الكهرباء الوطنية 7 Definition of Wind Turbine The meaning of wind farm or wind turbines is a rotating machine which convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy which is commonly used for pumping water or into electrical energy that can be generate electricity for sale to utilities.

13. NEPCO شركة الكهرباء الوطنية 13 Technology and Research The technology which uses wind energy to generate electricity has helped research since 1980 in lowering the cost of power generated by wind farm from 80 cent per kilowatt hour to between 6 cent per kilowatt hour nowadays. The continuous development in wind farm of improving performance and increasing their effectiveness as well as the sizes largely affects on reducing the cost of production thereby making it competitive with conventional energy at the present time

15. NEPCO شركة الكهرباء الوطنية 15 Wind Energy Advantages 1.Friendly with environment. 2.Local natural source. 3.It can be used as independent. 4.Zero operation cost. 5.Economically valuable. 6.Lowering the cost of wind energy production at the high level of production. 7.The wind farm energy is witnessing the fastest growth in the world.

16. NEPCO شركة الكهرباء الوطنية 16 Location of Wind Farm The uses of wind energy in locations where the wind is smoothly high which means if the rate of annual wind speed at an altitude of 10 meters, equivalent to 7 m/s, or more.

17. NEPCO شركة الكهرباء الوطنية 17 Electrical Wind Farm

18. NEPCO شركة الكهرباء الوطنية 18 Wind Characteristics Wind Atlas To examine the promising area, which is characterized by wind speeds. NERC installed of 13 mast (tower) covering all regions of the Kingdom with the possibility of transfer to measure the characteristics of wind (wind speed and direction) at different altitude

19. NEPCO شركة الكهرباء الوطنية 19 Location of Wind Mast Measurements made at these locations on the following rises: 1.(10,40). 2.(10,40,50). 3.(30,45). 4.(22,40,60). 5.(10,24).
