In addressing the country’s increasing energy needs, the assessment of clean and environmentally friendly own resources is of great importance.  Wind energy is one of the clean and renewable energy sources. To evaluate the wind energy potential of a region for energy production purposes, wind speed and direction data are required. For this purpose, by establishing a wind measurement station in the appropriate place or place in the area, the wind speed and direction values must be periodically measured in accordance with the standards for at least one year. In this study, the assessment of wind data for energy production was examined. Weibull’s distribution is used to determine the potential of wind energy. For this purpose; from the wind measurement station established in the Sakarya-Esentepe region in January, February, March, April, May and June 2007, using the wind speed and wind direction data, sample statistical analysis was made. In the statistical analysis of the wind energy potential of the area, Weibull distribution was used. For numerical analysis, the MATLAB program has been developed. Windpro software has also been used in wind data analysis. Keywords: wind energy, wind data, statistical analysis.
