3 FAQs about [Wind power generation in the past decade]

How has wind power changed over the last 10 years?

The nation’s wind capacity more than doubled from 2014 to 2023, adding more than 83 GW of utility-scale wind capacity during the last 10 years. Electricity generated from wind energy in the U.S. also more than doubled from 2014 to 2023.

Where does wind power come from?

Wind accounts for more than one-third of the current electricity mix in six states: Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, South Dakota, and North Dakota — reflecting significant growth over the past 10 years. In 2023, 25 states generated at least 10% of their total in-state electricity from wind and solar combined.

Are solar and wind the future of energy?

Solar and wind account for more of our nation’s energy mix than ever before. To study America’s growing renewable electricity capacity and generation, Climate Central analyzed historical data on solar and wind energy over a 10-year period (2014 to 2023).
