U.S. electricity generation from wind turbines decreased for the first time since the mid-1990s in 2023 despite the addition of 6.2 gigawatts (GW) of new wind capacity last year.
Texas continues to have the most wind power, accounting for over a quarter of national capacity, while Iowa has the highest share of in-state generation from wind, at 63%.
Worldwide solar and wind power generation has outpaced electricity demand this year, and for the first time on record, renewable energies combined generated more power than coal,
US wind installations will rebound in 2025, but the concern lies in the sharply downgraded 5-year outlook. We''ll give you one guess why.
According to data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), wind energy accounted for 30.1% of the new electricity capacity added in January 2025, and as the most-used renewable
See the projected growth of the wind industry over the next 35 years. All units are in gigawatts (GW). Only states with total capacity over 0.1 GW are included per year. Find out more about the data by
Given the clear economic, social, and environmental advantages of wind power as a cornerstone of a renewable energy system, the main obstacles to progress today come not from
Wind power Solar and wind power has grown faster than electricity demand this year, report says A new analysis of solar and wind power shows its generation worldwide has outpaced electricity demand
All Q1 installations came from new build onshore activity. However, regulatory uncertainty led to a significant pullback in wind turbine orders, taking them to their lowest level since 2020.
