Utility Wind Project Size by County and State: 2020
This map illustrates the variety of median project capacity
sizes across the United States and California counties for wind projects whose
total nameplate capacity is greater than or equal to 1 MW. The absence of
projects in the southeastern United States is attributable to low average wind
speeds (United States - Annual Average Wind Speed, AWS Truepower and National
Renewable Energy Lab). Hurricane strength winds are not usable with current technology.
Median project capacity is a function of the statewide capacity and the number
of projects within the defined area. October 1, 2021; Produced by the
California Energy Commission; Projection: NAD 1983 (2011) Contiguous USA
Albers; Data: Energy Information Administration (EIA-860) and the Wind
Performance Reporting System (WPRS). For more information, please contact
Rebecca Vail (916)477-0738, or John Hingtgen (916)510-9747.
