Wind energy is one of them. In this paper was to evaluate the potential of wind energy in Yazd city. After review and analysis of meteorological data from 2011 to 2014 by software, the annual average wind speed at a height of 50 meters, 3.174 m/s and wind power density of 54 W/m2 was obtained show that the city of Yazd does not have good potential to exploit wind energy.
