Average wind power generation

MSCE in Energy Infrastructure

The map shows color coded average wind speeds from less than 3.0 m/s (7 mph) to over 10.0 m/s (22 mph). The wind speeds are estimated based on a wind turbine hub height of 100 m.

Wind Energy Factsheet

High wind speeds yield more energy because wind power is proportional to the cube of wind speed.4 Average annual wind speeds of 6.5m/s or greater at the height of 80m are generally considered

Wind Power Facts and Information | ACP | ACP

Utility-scale wind energy is the largest source of renewable electricity generation in the United States, providing 10% of the country''s electricity and is continuously growing.

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.

Maps and Data | Department of Energy

This type of map displays the estimated wind power density, which is the average annual power available per square meter of the area swept by a turbine''s blades.

Wind power in the United States

OverviewHistoryEconomicsNational trendsWind power by stateCommercialization of wind powerOffshore wind powerWind energy meteorology

Wind power is a branch of the energy industry that has expanded quickly in the United States over the last several years. In 2024, 451.9 terawatt-hours were generated by wind power, or 10.49% of electricity in the United States. The average wind turbine generates enough electricity in 46 minutes to power the average American home for one month. In 2019, wind power surpassed hydroelectric power as the largest renewable energy source in the U.S

How Much Energy Does a Wind Turbine Produce?

Wind power accounts for about 8% of global electricity generation, and countries around the globe continue to develop and scale up their wind power generation capacity.

Wind Energy Factsheet

Wind supplies 57% of Denmark''s electricity generation and over 20% in ten other countries. 7 Global wind additions reached a record 117 GW in 2023. 7 In 2024, onshore installations surpassed 100 GW

Electricity generation from wind

In 2022, wind turbines were the source of about 10.3% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation. Utility scale includes facilities with at least one megawatt (1,000 kilowatts) of electricity
