About this ranking
Net electricity generated by onshore and offshore wind turbines at utility-scale plants (1 megawatt or more) in the year, in terawatt hours, as reported to the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Form EIA-923.
United States and its states only. States without wind farms have no value.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the states are compared on one definition. 1 states with data in other periods have no value for 2024 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
