Wind Energy Factsheet
Wind could provide 20% of U.S. electricity by 2030 and 35% by 2050. 11 Five of the eight Great Lakes states have offshore wind energy potentials that exceed their annual electricity demand (MI, WI, NY,
Key US wind power trends and metrics to track | Reuters
Current installed wind generation capacity in the U.S. is roughly 152 gigawatts (GW), according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). That capacity is up 46% from 2019,
Global Statistics
The world''s installed wind power capacity now meets well over 10% of global electricity demand – and much more than nuclear power. More than 30 countries now have a share of wind
Wind Power by Country 2026
The utility-scale turbines present in most wind farms are capable of generating anything from 100 kilowatts to several megawatts and are used to power electrical grids.
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.
America''s Electricity Generation Capacity, 2025 Update
The American Public Power Association''s annual report on current and imminent electricity generation capacity in the United States breaks down the nearly 1.3 terawatts of utility-scale capacity by fuel,
U.S. wind generation hit record in April 2024, exceeding coal-fired
Installed wind power generating capacity has increased substantially in the United States over the last 25 years, growing from 2.4 gigawatts (GW) in 2000 to 150.1 GW in April 2024.
Wind industry installs record capacity in 2024 despite policy instability
Last year''s growth – 109 GW of new onshore wind and 8 GW of offshore wind - brings global cumulative capacity of wind energy to 1,136GW, spread across all continents, with 55 countries installing wind
Global Wind Power Tracker
The Global Wind Power Tracker (GWPT) is a worldwide dataset of utility-scale, on and offshore wind facilities. It includes wind farm phases with capacities of 10 megawatts (MW) or more.

Global cumulative installed capacity of wind power 2024| Statista
The amount of power that can be generated from wind turbines generally depends on the size of the turbines and length of the blades, as well as wind speeds.
