Display Name: Onshore Wind Screening

Description: The Clean Energy Screening Tool supports Audubon’s engagement on responsible clean energy and transmission development by providing rapid, science-based spatial analysis of proposed project areas. The tool evaluates a user-defined area of interest and surrounding buffers against authoritative bird, habitat, conservation, land use, and energy infrastructure datasets. It generates a map-ready output layer and a formatted PDF report summarizing intersections and area metrics to help identify potential risks, inform mitigation strategies, and guide early-stage project discussions.‌‌‌‌
