Last month we introduced you to Firstlook, the wind map that provides users with a comprehensive wind assessment of a specific site or region to determine the potential for wind-generated electricty in the area. The creators of Firstlook have been busy lately, expanding the areas of which they can provide assessments for and acquiring new customers to benefit from this innovative technology.

3TIER recently announced the addition of Canada and Alaska to its FirstLook Assessment™ tool, providing online access to the world’s first geographically seamless 5 km wind data set for the continental United States and Canada.  At the same time, 3TIER announced a deal with GENIVAR, a Canadian-based engineering firm, the first customer to use FirstLook Assessment for exploring Canada’s wind energy potential.

As wind power continues to gain in popularity, hopefully technology such as Firstlook will catch on and make the transition to alternative sources of energy that much easier and convenient.
