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

LITTLETON, Colorado, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Wind farms have generated a record share of U.S. electricity production so far in 2024, and are the second largest source of clean power behind nuclear...
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.
Texas leads in installed wind capacity (41 GW), followed by Iowa (13 GW) and Oklahoma (12.6 GW). 7 Texas (1,323 MW) and Illinois (928 MW) installed the most new wind capacity in 2023. 7 Iowa
In 2019, wind power surpassed hydroelectric power as the largest renewable energy source in the U.S. In March and April of 2024, electricity generation from wind exceeded generation from coal, once the
Distributed or “small” wind are single small wind turbines below 100 kilowatts that are used to directly power a home, farm, or small business, and are not connected to the grid.
