It provides: <br />■ A step-by-step walk through of key considerations for renewable energy <br />development at the site; <br />■ Suggested resources to help you answer screening questions to gauge the site's <br />potential; and <br />■ Reports summarizing your answers to the screening questions, initial findings <br />regarding suitability and other comments about the site. <br />• Feasibility Studies <br />o National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), 2013.
