Share of electricity production from wind, 2023 [1] Global map of wind speed at 100 m above surface level [2]. The worldwide total cumulative installed electricity generation capacity from wind power has increased rapidly since the start of the third millennium, and as of the end of 2023, it amounts to over 1000 GW. [3]
In 2018, 4 states made up over half of total wind power output. In 2019, electric power generation from wind power was 10 percent or more in fourteen U.S. states: Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Texas.

With about 100 GW added during 2021, mostly in China and the United States, global installed wind power capacity exceeded 800 GW. [2] [3] [4] 32 countries generated more than a tenth of their electricity from wind power in 2023 and wind generation has nearly tripled since 2015. [1]
In 2022, natural gas was the largest source of electricity in the US and for 25 states. Wind power was the largest renewable source for 20 states. [2] Data are from the EIA and are for the year 2022. [2]
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]
Record growth in wind and solar last year pushed worldwide electricity generation to its cleanest-ever level, a report found, reflecting a renewable energy boom that researchers say could herald ...
Generation by state and source. The following figures offer detail into the sources of generation used in each state. [55] Most often, natural gas is the largest source in a given state, with 22 states using it more than any other. Among renewable sources, 18 states use wind power more than any other.
Renewable electricity generation by source and country in 2023 [1] This is a list of countries and dependencies by electricity generation from renewable sources. [1] Renewables accounted for 30% of electric generation in 2023. Renewables consist of hydro (47%), wind (26%), solar (18%), biomass (8%) and geothermal (1%).
