Wind power in New Jersey is in the early stages of development. New Jersey has just six wind turbines, all land based, but the state has plans to develop several major offshore wind projects on the continental shelf of the Atlantic Ocean off the southern Jersey Shore .
Wind power in Illinois provided nearly 10% of the state's generated electrical power in 2020 powering 1,231,900 homes. [1] At the end of 2020, Illinois had 6,300 megawatts (MW) of wind power installed, ranking fifth among states for installed wind turbine capacity. [ 2 ]
The Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm, located in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is the first coastal wind farm in the United States and the first such wind farm in New Jersey. It became operational in March 2006 [1] and has five 1.5 MW turbines built by General Electric. Each wind turbine reaches a height of 380 feet (120 m). [2] [3]
The project had called for installing 200 wind turbines less than nine miles off the New Jersey coast — providing enough electricity to power more than 1 million homes.

In addition to the megawatt wind farms, community scale single wind turbines of from 250 kW to 750 kW are typically 50 meters high, and residential or farm wind turbines are typically 15–40 m (49–131 ft) high. To address these markets, maps are available showing wind potential at 30 m (98 ft) [7] and 50 m (160 ft). [8]
