Wind Energy | Department of Energy

Wind power is the nation''s largest source of renewable energy, with more than 150 gigawatts of wind energy installed across 42 U.S. States and Puerto Rico. These projects generate

US Wind Power

Geographic regions are assigned a power class rating from 1 to 7, representing the least to most favorable conditions for wind power plants. Power class is a function of terrain, wind density, and

A database of hourly wind speed and modeled generation for US wind

The repository contains wind speeds and generation based on three different meteorological models: ERA5, MERRA2, and HRRR. Data are publicly accessible in simple csv files.

Wind power is the use of wind energy to generate useful work. Historically, wind power was used by sails, windmills and windpumps, but today it is mostly used to generate electricity. This article deals only with wind power for electricity generation. Today, wind power is generated almost completely using wind turbines, generally grouped into wind farms and connected to the electrical grid.

We selected these four wind turbine technologies in consultation with industry to represent the range of technology we expect to be available in 2030, including a higher-specific-power machine that would

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,

U.S. wind generation falls into regional patterns by season

Wind plant performance—how much electricity a wind plant generates compared with its maximum possible generation—depends almost entirely on the availability of wind resources, which

Wind power

Wind power is a sustainable, renewable energy source, and has a much smaller impact on the environment than burning fossil fuels. Wind power is variable, so it needs energy storage or other

U.S. Wind Turbine Database

The United States Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) provides the locations of land-based and offshore wind turbines in the United States, corresponding wind project information, and turbine technical
