The aim of this paper is to answer the question: Are the Łódź Hills useful for electrical energy production from wind energy or not? Due to access to short-term data related to wind measurements (the period of 2008 and 2009) from a local meteorological station, the measure – correlate – predict approach have been applied. Long-term (1979‒2016) reference data were obtained from ECWMF ERA-40 Reanalysis. Artificial neural networks were used to calculate predicted wind speed. The obtained average wind speed and wind power density was 4.21 ms–1 and 70 Wm–1, respectively, at 10 m above ground level (5.51 ms–1, 170 Wm–1 at 50 m). From the point of view of Polish wind conditions, Łódź Hills may be considered useful for wind power engineering.
