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]
A wind atlas contains data on the wind speed and wind direction in a region. [1] These data include maps , but also time series or frequency distributions . A climatological wind atlas covers hourly averages at a standard height (10 meters) over even longer periods (30 years) but depending on the application there are variations in averaging ...
In November 2018, wind power generation in Scotland was higher than the country's electricity consumption during the month. [5] Wind power's share of worldwide electricity usage in 2023 was 7.8%, up from 7.3% from the prior year. [a] [3] In Europe, wind was 12.3% of generation in 2023. [3]

In addition to the large onshore wind resources, the U.S. has large offshore wind power potential, [52] with another NREL report released in September 2010 showing that the U.S. has 4,150 GW of potential offshore wind power nameplate capacity, an amount 4 times that of the country's 2008 installed capacity from all sources, of 1,010 GW.

United Kingdom general election, 2010: . Caroline Lucas becomes the first ever Green Party MP, having won the Brighton Pavilion constituency with a majority of 1,252.; Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg describes the election as a "disappointing night" for his party, in his speech at the count for his Sheffield Hallam constituency.
Colorado has the potential to install 387,220 MW of wind power generating capacity according to a 2010 U.S. DOE study. [8] The graphs below show the growth in the installed capacity (measured in megawatts (MW) along with the growth in the actual electrical energy produced (measured in gigawatt-hours (GW·h) within the state for more than the past decade.
