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.

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]
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 ] The annual production of a wind turbine is a product of the capacity rating, the capacity factor, and the number of hours in a year.
This is a list of U.S. states by electricity production. The US generated 4,231 TWh in 2022. Some 41 TWh of net imports and 204 TWh of line losses resulted in total consumption of 4,067 TWh. [1] Texas produced the most with 526 TWh, twice as much as Florida or Pennsylvania.
Wind power in New York (state) (2 C, 4 P) Wind power in North Carolina (1 C, 2 P) Wind power in North Dakota (1 C, 1 P) O. Wind power in Ohio (1 C, 2 P)
Wind power capacity in the United States tripled from 2008 to 2016, at which time it supplied over 5% of the country's total electricity generation. Wind power overtook hydroelectric as the largest source of renewable electricity generation in 2019, and accounted for 10.25% of the country's total electricity generation by in 2022. [35]
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. However, the wind generation in that year was Wyoming's third-lowest in the 2010s. [1]
Kansas wind resources. In the U.S. State of Kansas, wind power is the largest source of electricity, generating over 41% of the state's electricity in 2019. [1] Kansas has a high potential capacity for wind power, second behind Texas. The most recent estimates (2012) are that Kansas has a potential for 952 GW of wind power capacity yet had only ...
