Wind resource map at 50m above ground. Wyoming has one of the highest wind power potentials of any state in the United States.In 2019, Wyoming had wind powered electricity generating capacity of 1,589 MW, which produced 9.85% of its electric generation, with an additional 3,753 MW under construction.
In 2021, Wyoming had a total summer capacity of 10,096 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 46,017 GWh in 2022. [2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 71.1% coal, 22.1% wind, 4.3% natural gas, 1.9% hydroelectric and 0.5% solar.
While winds in Texas and Iowa often blow at night, wind increases during the day in Wyoming, corresponding with consumption, as peak demand is late afternoon. [17] The wind is Class 7, [18] and the wind capacity factor is around 46%. [19] The first phase of 1,500 MW is expected to yield 6 TWh per year. [20]
TB Flats I & II Wind Farm is a 301.1-megawatt onshore wind farm located in Carbon County and Albany County, Wyoming, United States. [3] The project was developed by Invenergy and later transferred to PacifiCorp as part of their Energy Vision 2020 initiative.
Listed are wind farms with a generating capacity of at least 150 megawatts (MW) or any of the three largest farms in its state with a generating capacity of at least 120 MW. Part of the Biglow Canyon Wind Farm, with a turbine under construction Fenton Wind Farm at sunrise Shiloh Wind Power Plant. The surrounding land is used for sheep grazing ...
It has a nameplate capacity of 443.9 megawatts of power and was completed in December 2011. The project was built for MidAmerican Energy Company, a Des Moines, Iowa-based company and subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings. With 193 Siemens 2.3 MW wind turbines, it was the largest wind farm in Iowa when built. [3]
As of January 2023, the total installed wind power nameplate generating capacity in the United States was 141,300 megawatts (MW). [4] This capacity is exceeded only by China and the European Union. [5] Thus far, wind power's largest growth in capacity was in 2020, when 16,913 MW of wind power was installed. [6]
The reservoir has a storage capacity of 952,400 acre-feet (1.1748 km 3), of which 520,679 acre⋅ft (0.642248 km 3) is reserved for annual flood storage and 144,229 acre⋅ft (0.177904 km 3) for agricultural and municipal uses.
