In this study, the potential of using wind power in Torbat Heydarieh and the surrounding villages was evaluated, and the necessity of creating a windbreak in the rural areas of this city has been investigated. Due to the existence of wind power site in Neyshabour, the potential of wind power in Torbat Heydarieh and its surrounding villages has been investigated by comparing wind speed between Torbat Heydarieh and Neyshabour. Therefore, the wind velocity graphs between Torbat Heydarieh and Neyshabour during 11 years were drawn to analyze the wind speed (as the wind power), which have shown the comparison. Moreover, the necessity of building a wind power unit in the villages around Torbat Heydarieh and its direct and indirect effects on sustainable development of the village were analyzed. The wind speeds were compared in the two cities by using the point – line data of the Meteorological Organization. Each point represents the average of monthly data, and each line represents the daily change in wind speed. Data was taken in eight hours during a day. By analyzing the wind velocity at 32120 consecutive times, it was found that: The means wind speed in the Torbat Heydarieh during the last 11 years (2006 to 2016) are always greater than the maximum wind speed in Neyshabour. Therefore, the results of this study indicate that the Torbat Heydarieh, especially the villages on its outskirts, has the potential to build a power plant for using wind power.
