The average LCOE for onshore wind increased from $36/MWh in 2021 to $50/MWh in 2023. Such increases were seen across the energy sector. In 2021, the United States Energy Information Administration estimated that the unsubsidized, levelized cost of new onshore wind energy entering service in 2023 will be 3 cents per kwh ($30/MWh).

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 ...

The study, published on Monday by a US and European research team, used data from more than 300 million home sales and 60,000 wind turbines in the US between 1997 and 2020.
There is more than 16 GW of capacity planned for the Atlantic Coast. The map at right shows leases executed by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management for the outer continental shelf off the Massachusetts and Rhode Island coasts, the first offshore wind energy area to be opened for auction, in 2014 (lease assignments as of 2022).
Vestas V47-660kW wind turbine at American Wind Power Center in Lubbock, Texas A wind turbine blade on I-35 near Elm Mott, an increasingly common sight in Texas. Wind power has a long history in Texas. West Texas A&M University began wind energy research in 1970 and led to the formation of the Alternative Energy Institute (AEI) in 1977.
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]
The 1550MW Alta Wind Energy Center is the largest wind farm in the United States and the second largest in the world behind the Gansu Wind Farm. [37] There were 90,000 wind operations jobs in the United States in 2015. The wind industry in the United States generates tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of economic activity. [38]
