The purpose of this paper is to provide a draft set of best practice guidelines for the pro-curement of mesoscale wind maps in the World Bank Group (WBG). The primary audience is task team leaders (TTLs), who are relatively unfamiliar with the details of wind energy technology and wind resource assessment. The paper explains the basics of the method, its use and its limitations, and provides a set of guidelines to assess the quality and in particular the usability of products supplied by suppliers of mesoscale modeling work. Recommendations for use in terms of reference for consultants (ToRs) are included in bold italics in the text. The work is the result of a number of internal reviews, interviews and cross-support work within the World Bank Group on mesoscale wind modeling from 2006 to 2009 supported by ESMAP, the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program operated by the World Bank. In addition, the report incorporates comments from discussions with a number of academic researchers, modelers, bankers, task teams in the World Bank Group and prac-tical users of mesoscale maps over a number of years.
