Wind power in Georgia consists of one wind farm, completed in 2013 with 20 MW of capacity. [4] Currently the only available wind farm is located in the Shida Kartli region, near its regional capital city of Gori. [5] The country is in the planning process of creating a new offshore wind farm near Tbilisi. In the next following years the ...
As previously reported by The Center Square, the proposed Harvest Hills Wind Project could provide power to 90,000 homes for 25 to 30 years as part of the state’s goal of reaching 100% clean ...

Historically, wind power was used by sails, windmills and windpumps, but today it is mostly used to generate electricity. This article deals only with wind power for electricity generation. Today, wind power is generated almost completely with wind turbines, generally grouped into wind farms and connected to the electrical grid.
The 2011 NREL report, Large-Scale Offshore Wind Power in the United States, analyzes the current state of the offshore wind energy industry. According to the report, offshore wind resource development would help the country to achieve 20% of its electric power from wind by 2030 and to revitalize the manufacturing sector.
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]
In May 2014, the United States Department of Energy chose an offshore wind projects to receive funding. [65] Principle Power was planning a 30-MW WindFloat project in 2013 using 6-MW Siemens turbines in 366 m of water near Coos Bay, Oregon to be operational in 2017, [66] but the project was cancelled as too costly.
