Offshore wind energy is gaining significant momentum in the United States. Although it is unclear whether the US will reach its 2030 target of 30GW in offshore wind, several developers are working on making this possible. In this article, we will introduce the developers of the three largest offshore wind farms in the United States. […]
The state ranks seventh in the United States when it comes to wind power, with 3.5 percent of wind in the US being generated in California. A majority of that percentage is onshore wind. For now, the majority of wind turbines are located onshore in the south east of California because it offers the best […]
There is a reason why installed offshore wind is not as present in California yet as in states along the East Coast: The West Coast ocean floor is much deeper than on the East Coast. This means that offshore wind farms in California have a need for anchored floating platforms which makes development more complicated. […]
By the end of Q1 in 2023, the US had a total installed wind capacity of 145.57GW, with a total potential wind capacity of 10,640.08GW. In this article, we present the three largest operational onshore wind projects in the US, as of July 2023. 1) 1.55GW Alta Wind Energy Center in California The Alta Wind […]
New York has the largest offshore wind pipeline in the United States, totaling more than 4.3GW. In this article, we present the three currently largest offshore wind projects in the state. 1) 1,260MW Empire Wind 2 First on our list is the Empire Wind 2 Project which has a capacity of 1,260MW. The offshore wind […]
Currently, Texas produces the most wind energy in the entire United States. Alone in March 2023, the state of Texas generated 12,370GWh of wind. Various wind farms are located up and down the Gulf Coast, where winds typically are stronger, thus offering the ideal location for wind farms. Thus, there are many large-scale onshore wind […]
Wind Power in Pennsylvania accounts for over one third of the renewable energy production of Pennsylvania. There are currently over 1300 megawatts of wind power generation installed in Pennsylvania on 26 wind farms which power nearly 350,000 Pennsylvanian homes. 1) RES (Kings Langley, UK) Renewable Energy Systems Ltd. is a large global renewable energy company […]
