Wind resource map of North Dakota. North Dakota is a leading U.S. state in wind power generation. The state generated 26.8% of its electricity from wind during year 2017, enough to power over one million homes. [1] 2,996 megawatts (MW) of generation capacity had been installed for wind power in North Dakota at the end of 2017. [1]
The wind generation potential in the United States far exceeds demand. North Dakota , the windiest state, has the capacity to install 200,000 MW at 50% capacity factor 100 m (330 ft)-high turbines. [ 1 ]
Consequently, a wind blowing from the north has a wind direction referred to as 0° (360°); a wind blowing from the east has a wind direction referred to as 90°, etc. Weather forecasts typically give the direction of the wind along with its speed , for example a "northerly wind at 15 km/h" is a wind blowing from the north at a speed of 15 km ...
In 2022, North Dakota had a total summer capacity of 9,409 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 44,400 GWh. [2] In 2023, the electrical energy generation mix was 55.3% coal, 36.1% wind, 4.9% natural gas, and 3.6% hydroelectric.

The reference to "a Chinook" wind or weather system originally meant, to euro-American settlers along the Pacific Northwest coast, a warming wind from the ocean blowing into the interior regions of the Pacific Northwest of the North America. A strong föhn wind can make snow one foot (30 cm) deep almost vanish in one day. [6]
The Bison Wind Energy Center is a 496.6 megawatt (MW) wind farm spanning southwest Oliver County and north-central Morton County in the U.S. state of North Dakota.It became the largest wind generating facility in the state upon completion of the fourth construction phase in early 2015.
