Mapped: U.S. Wind Electricity Generation by State
This map uses data from the EIA to show how much wind electricity different U.S. states generate, and breaks down wind''s share of total electricity generation in top wind power producing
Global Wind Atlas
The Global Wind Atlas is a free, web-based application developed to help policymakers, planners, and investors identify high-wind areas for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world, and then
Wind Energy Factsheet
Horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) are the predominant design, featuring blades (usually three) symmetrically mounted to a hub connected via a shaft to a gearbox and generator.
MSCE in Energy Infrastructure
Wind energy production is about 12% of the US total and slowly increasing as of 2024. The percentages are based on the MWh of total generation. Total US annual generation by all fuel types was about
Global Statistics
In 2025, wind turbines generated enough power to cover more than 11% of worldwide demand, surpassing nuclear energy and closing in on other fossil sources. This milestone reflects not

Global Wind Energy Council
Wind and solar generated a record 17% of U.S. electricity in 2025
We classify a power plant as utility-scale if it has at least 1 megawatt of generating capacity. In 2025, wind power generated 464,000 GWh of electricity, 3% more than in 2024. In 2025,
Ireland Hits 5GW Wind Power Landmark
Wind remains Ireland''s primary renewable power source, now generating more than 35% of annual electricity demand. In January, total
