OverviewWind power by stateHistoryEconomicsNational trendsCommercialization of wind powerOffshore wind powerWind energy meteorology

In 2019, electric power generation from wind power was 10 percent or more in fourteen U.S. states: Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Texas. Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Kansas each had more than 20 percent of their electric power generation come from wind. Twenty states now have more tha

Average annual wind power generation hours

Wind energy generation, measured in gigawatt-hours (GWh) versus cumulative installed wind energy capacity, measured in gigawatts (GW). Data includes energy from both onshore and

How Many kWh Does a Wind Turbine Produce Per Day?

Large, utility-scale wind turbines, commonly seen in wind farms, produce substantial amounts of power. A typical modern utility-scale turbine, often around 2 to 3 megawatts (MW) in capacity, might

How Much Power Does a Wind Turbine Generate Per Hour?

A typical modern wind turbine can generate anywhere from 0.5 to 5 megawatts (MW) of power per hour, but the actual amount varies considerably depending on factors like turbine size, wind speed, and site

Wind power generation, 2025

Annual electricity generation from wind is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh) per year. This includes both onshore and offshore wind sources.
