Wind power generation hours in recent years

A Decade of U.S. Wind Growth

U.S. wind power capacity was bigger than ever in 2023 — part of a decade-long growth trend for renewable energy. The U.S. generated 425,235 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity from

Wind power generation, 2025

Wind power generation, 2025 Annual electricity generation from wind is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh) per year. This includes both onshore and offshore wind sources.

OverviewNational trendsHistoryEconomicsWind power by stateCommercialization of wind powerOffshore wind powerWind energy meteorology

As of 2022, the United States has over 141 GW of installed wind power capacity. In 2010, newly installed generating capacity was about half of the previous year due to various factors, including the 2008 financial crisis, and the Great Recession. In 2013, there was a 92% reduction in newly installed generating capacity compared to 2012, due to the late extension of the PTC (see image on the right). The graph at left
