    Utility Wind Project Size by County and State: 2021

    Metadata Updated: August 24, 2023

    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. August 3, 2022; Produced by the California Energy Commission; Projection: NAD 1983 (2011) Contiguous USA Albers; Data: Energy Information Administration (EIA-860) and the Wind Generation Reporting System (WPRS).
