In 2018, 4 states made up over half of total wind power output. In 2019, electric power generation from wind power was 10 percent or more in fourteen U.S. states: Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Texas.

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 ]
This is a list of U.S. states by total electricity generation, percent of generation that is renewable, total renewable generation, percent of total domestic renewable generation, [1] and carbon intensity in 2022. [2] The largest renewable electricity source was wind, which has exceeded hydro since 2019. [3]
In 2022, natural gas was the largest source of electricity in the US and for 25 states. Wind power was the largest renewable source for 20 states. [2] Data are from the EIA and are for the year 2022. [2]
With about 100 GW added during 2021, mostly in China and the United States, global installed wind power capacity exceeded 800 GW. [2] [3] [4] 32 countries generated more than a tenth of their electricity from wind power in 2023 and wind generation has nearly tripled since 2015. [1]

Generation by state and source. The following figures offer detail into the sources of generation used in each state. [51] Most often, natural gas is the largest source in a given state, with 22 states using it more than any other. Among renewable sources, 18 states use wind power more than any other.
Wind resource map at 50m above ground. Wyoming has one of the highest wind power potentials of any state in the United States.In 2019, Wyoming had wind powered electricity generating capacity of 1,589 MW, which produced 9.85% of its electric generation, with an additional 3,753 MW under construction.
