Mapped: U.S. Wind Electricity Generation by State

This map uses data from the EIA to show how much wind electricity different U.S. states generate, and breaks down wind''s share of total electricity generation in top wind power producing states.
Mapped: U.S. Wind Electricity Generation by State

Iowa was by far the state with the highest wind penetration, with almost 63 percent of its electricity production covered by wind.

Produced using a combination of weather data and computer modeling, these maps estimate the average annual wind speeds 30 meters above the ground.
Wind Turbines by State 2026

Although Iowa holds close to half the number that Texas has, the current recorded wind generation is nearer to one-third of the power generated by the Texas wind turbines.
Share of electricity production from wind, 2025

This dataset contains yearly electricity generation, capacity, emissions, import and demand data for over 200 geographies. You can find more about Ember''s methodology in this document.
U.S. wind generation falls into regional patterns by season

Because of geographic differences in wind resource potential, wind generation varies across regions. We grouped states into regional groups that have similar wind capacity factor patterns.
Wind power in the United States

In 2019, wind power surpassed hydroelectric power as the largest renewable energy source in the U.S. In March and April of 2024, electricity generation from wind exceeded generation from coal, once the dominant source
