The chart shows that Arkansas has wind resources can be considered for utility-scale production. The highest wind resources are found on exposed ridge crests and elevated terrain areas in the western section of the map. The best wind resource areas are concentrated on the higher elevations of the Ouachita Mountains, particularly near Mena, and the Boston Mountains of northwestern Arkansas.

A renewable energy source, wind is organized according to wind power classes, these are based on usual airstream speeds. The classes range from Class 1 (the slowest) to Class 7 (the top). Ordinarily, at 150 feet , wind speed Class 4 or higher is functional for making wind energy with substantial turbines. Class 4 and higher are considered excellent energy supplies. Individual areas in the Class 3 areas could have greater wind power classes at 80 meters than revealed on the 50 meter map as a result of possible elevated wind shear. As a result of the improvements in technology, some zones in the Class 3 areas may suitable for large scale wind power company development.
