A majority of the farms are located in the southwest-central and northeastern regions of the state. [3] Pennsylvania is an East Coast leader in wind energy due to its natural wind resources and governmental incentives brought on by the state. There is a lot of potential for growth within the wind power industry in Pennsylvania and the Northeast.
The credit was intended as temporary, but was renewed 13 times. In some states such as Nebraska, there has been local push back against wind projects with local groups rejecting wind energy projects. [58] [59] As a result, wind supplies over 8% of the United States' power, and reached a record peak of 24.5% share of power.
