Project Facts

The total annual U.S. electricity generation from wind energy increased from about 6 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) in 2000 to about 464 billion kWh in 2025.
Massachusetts was the state with the largest annual increase in wind production from 2025-2026 in the U.S., increasing from 12,000 megawatt hours (MWh) to 120,000 MWh.
In 2025, wind turbines were the source of about 10.5% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation.
Wind energy accounted for 43% of utility-scale electricity from renewable sources in 2025.
Nearly 150,000 people are working in the U.S. wind industry across all 50 states, and that number continues to grow.
Wind turbine service technicians represent one of the fastest growing U.S. jobs of the decade.
