The Texas A&M Natural Resources Institute (NRI), in collaboration with the Texas Military Preparedness Commission (TMPC) within the Office of the Governor, Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA), and with input from the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), launched the Texas Early Notification Tool (TENT).
This is a new web tool designed for developers, namely those in the wind energy industry, to use for early screening of potential project sites and to identify potential issues that should be evaluated by the military. Funded by OEA with matching funds from TMPC, this tool facilitates early stakeholder communication between military installations, industry, and military communities avoiding development that may impede military training and readiness missions, specifically related to aviation.
