Northern Forest Renewable Energy Environment
A scan of projects & drivers
The Center is gathering information about renewable energy activity in all four Northern Forest states, with a particular focus on woody biomass. This information is organized into interactive maps that document existing and proposed renewable projects as well as the drivers that affect project viability. 

All four maps are works in progress that the Center updates periodically. Please send any adjustments, additions or corrections to Program Assistant

Vermont
New York  

The first map completed (for New Hampshire) has proved a useful tool for hundreds of people. Members of community-led renewable energy initiatives, state committees, and non-profit and business leaders have used the map to display the relationships of project drivers to the outcome of existing and proposed projects, understand the complexity and interactions of various drivers, and advance collaboration efforts.

How to read the map:
Start in the center: The center circle notes which state scan you are viewing. 

Move to the left side of the map: The top section illustrates existing renewable energy projects.  The bottom section illustrates proposed projects.  Both sections are further broken down into small scale, institutional scale, community scale, commercial scale, chip mills, and pellet plants.

Move to the right side of the map:  This side illustrates the drivers affecting the project viability and is broken down into the following categories: public policy, financing, education, infrastructure, and community benefits.

How to use online map features:
Text: Only the basic structure of the map is viewable when you open the map page.

To expand information:
 click on non-colored lines. For example, go to left side, find the box that says “Existing” headline and then the line that says “commercial scale.” Click the “commercial scale” line to expand the information and view all commercial scale projects. Any lines with a circle at the end of them are expandable. Contract the line the same way.
