The graph at left shows the growth in installed wind generation capacity in the United States based on data from the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. [33] In 2008, installed capacity in the U.S. increased by 50% over the prior year. The world average growth rate that year was 28.8%. [40]
By the end of 2011, the United States had installed 46,919 MW of wind power, [5] and generated 94,652 GWh of electricity from wind power in 2010. [ 6 ] The annual production of a wind turbine is a product of the capacity rating, the capacity factor, and the number of hours in a year.
The Wind Energy Data and Information (WENDI) Gateway was established by the Environmental Sciences Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory in March 2010 to support the United States Department of Energy's Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program. [1]
This is a list of U.S. states by total electricity generation, percent of generation that is renewable, total renewable generation, percent of total domestic renewable generation, [1] and carbon intensity in 2022. [2] The largest renewable electricity source was wind, which has exceeded hydro since 2019. [3]
It became the second-largest source of electricity as measured since the EIA began collecting wind energy data. E&E reporter Ben Storrow said earlier this month that wind turbines generated over ...
From its founding until the late 19th century, population and energy use in the United States both increased by about 3% per year, [10] [11] resulting in a relatively constant per capita energy use of 100 million BTU. Wood made up the majority of this until near the end of the 1800s, meaning the average American burned eight tons of wood each ...
The 1550MW Alta Wind Energy Center is the largest wind farm in the United States and the second largest in the world behind the Gansu Wind Farm. [38] There were 90,000 wind operations jobs in the United States in 2015. The wind industry in the United States generates tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of economic activity. [39]
