Wind power in Ohio. Wind power in Ohio has a long history. As of 2016, Ohio had 545 megawatts (MW) of utility-scale wind power installations, responsible for generating 1.1% of the state's electricity. [1] Over 1000 MW more were under construction or pending approval. [2]
The Blue Creek Wind Farm spanning Paulding and Van Wert County became the largest wind farm in the U.S. state of Ohio at approximately 40,500 acres upon its completion in 2012. With a generating capacity of 304 megawatts (MW), it produces enough electricity to service the equivalent of about 76,000 homes. It was the largest private investment ...
The following table lists offshore wind farm areas (by nameplate capacity) that are in various states development for the Outer Continental Shelf in U.S. territorial waters of the East Coast of the United States, [31] where a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) wind energy area lease has been secured [32] [33] and have gained at least some ...

In 2010, the US Energy Information Agency said "offshore wind power is the most expensive energy generating technology being considered for large scale deployment". [5] The 2010 state of offshore wind power presented economic challenges significantly greater than onshore systems, with prices in the range of 2.5-3.0 million Euro/MW. [36]
As of 2022, the US had 0.042 GW of offshore wind power, [ 4 ] in addition to which Vineyard Wind started coming online in stages on January 2, 2024. [ 5 ] Wind energy lease areas off the southern coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island as of October, 2022. There is more than 16 GW of capacity planned for the Atlantic Coast.
Wind power is a branch of the energy industry that has expanded quickly in the United States over the last several years. [ 1 ] From January through December 2023, 425.2 terawatt-hours were generated by wind power, or 10.18% of electricity in the United States. [ 2 ] The average wind turbine generates enough electricity in 46 minutes to power ...
