Nevada wind resources. The U.S. state of Nevada has a quite limited potential capacity for onshore wind power generation, ranking 29th among the states. The NREL estimates [1] that the potential for 7.2 GW of wind generation capacity exists in Nevada, which could generate 17,709 GW·h per year (roughly 60% of the state's electric demand [2]).
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]

For commercial operation, a capacity factor of at least 35% is preferred. There are no locations in either state that would achieve 30% capacity factor. By the end of 2011, the United States had installed 46,919 MW of wind power, [5] and generated 94,652 GWh of electricity from wind power in 2010. [6]
This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Nevada, sorted by type and name. In 2022, Nevada had a total summer capacity of 13,541 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 42,591 GWh. [ 2 ]

Generation by state and source. The following figures offer detail into the sources of generation used in each state. [53] 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.
