Actual power generation of wind farms over the years

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.

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 Farms through the Years

Data provided by the EIA. The number of homes powered is estimated through conversion factors provided by the EIA. Committed to Restoring America''s Energy Dominance.

MSCE in Energy Infrastructure

This data shows the relative US electricity generation by fuel type over the last 6 years. Wind energy production is about 12% of the US total and slowly increasing as of 2024.

Annual change in wind energy generation

Change in energy generation relative to the previous year, using the substitution method and measured in terawatt-hours.

Wind power in the United States

Variations in wind speed result in variations in power output from wind farms, which poses difficulties incorporating wind power into an integrated power system.

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 Statistics Statistics: Market Data Report 2026

Iowa generates over 60% of its in-state electricity generation from wind power the highest share in the US The North Sea countries have pledged to build 300 GW of offshore wind by 2050

Winds in the Central Plains region of the U.S. are variable on both short (minutes) and long (days) time scales. Variations in wind speed result in variations in power output from wind farms, which poses difficulties incorporating wind power into an integrated power system. Wind turbines are driven by boundary layer winds, those that occur near the surface of the earth, at around 300 feet. Boundary layer winds are controlled by wind in the higher free atmosphere and have turbulenc

WWEA Annual Report 2023: Record Year for Windpower

Countries like Denmark, leading with 56% of its electricity generated from wind, alongside Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, the UK, and Uruguay, demonstrate the potential and reliability of wind
