Meanwhile, petroleum <br>reserves are estimated to decrease. Therefore, a solution to diversify electricity power plants with <br>environmental friendly alternative energy sources is wind energy. Gunung Kidul regency is one of the regencies <br>that is suitable as a potential location for wind power plants with an average wind speed of more than 4 m/s <br>and has a frequency of more than 90 days. The purpose of this research is to analyze the most potential locations <br>for wind power plants. The variables used in this research are average wind speed, road network, residential <br>area, slope, altitude, and land use in 2015. The data was collected from agencies such as the Geospatial <br>Information Agency, WindPRO wind energy consultancy, and field surveys. The results are processed using <br>ArcGIS and WRPlot View. Potential location is determined using spatial analysis, and the electricity demand <br>of the potential region is determined using descriptive analysis. The result indicates that the possible site for <br>the development of wind power plants is in Tepus village, Gunung Kidul Regency. The average wind speed <br>was 6,2 m/s, with the dominant wind direction blowing from the southeast and frequencies ranging from 9 to <br>198 days. The electricity demand in Tepus Village based on survey results in 2019 is up to 308.758 kWh/month,<br>with the highest market coming from the housing sector with a power of 450 VA.</p>}, number={76}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={Fachry Dzaky Al Qadri Sabil and Astrid Damayanti and Taqyuddin}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={149–156} }
