Wind resource map of Wyoming at 50 m (164 ft) above ground. The wind farm will be located within an isolated patch of "outstanding" wind energy potential at the center-bottom of the state. The project is proposed to generate 2,000 to 3,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity and construction may take 3–4 years with a project life estimate of 30 years.
Wyoming's geography of high-altitude prairies with broad ridges makes the state an ideal site for the development of wind resources. Other factors that positively affect Wyoming's wind power development potential include transmission capabilities, [5] the high energy needs of nearby population centers, [5] high public support of wind power development in the state (97% support), [6] and the ...
Brazos Wind Ranch. Wind power in Texas, a portion of total energy in Texas, consists of over 150 wind farms, which together have a total nameplate capacity of over 30,000 MW (as of 2020). [1][2] If Texas were a country, it would rank fifth in the world; [1] the installed wind capacity in Texas exceeds installed wind capacity in all countries ...

Pampa Wind Project. Mesa Power LP, a company controlled by former Texas oilman, T. Boone Pickens, planned to build the world's largest wind farm, called the Pampa Wind Project, as part of the Pickens Plan. The proposed 4,000 MW facility was to be located near Pampa, Texas, which is on the Texas Panhandle, and stretch to the east, spanning ...
Brazos Wind Farm in Texas. Mendota Hills Wind Farm in northern Illinois. Wind power is a branch of the energy industry that has expanded quickly in the United States over the last several years. [1] From January through December 2023, 425.2 terawatt-hours were generated by wind power, or 10.18% of electricity in the United States. [2]
Wildorado Wind Ranch. Coordinates: 35.307°N 102.32°W. The Wildorado Wind Ranch, completed in 2007, is located on approximately 16,000 acres (6,500 ha) 25 miles (40 km) west of Amarillo, Texas, and consists of 161 MW of wind turbines (70 Siemens Mk II turbines each capable of generating 2.3 MW at peak wind speeds). These turbines have the ...
The Roscoe Wind Farm near Roscoe, Texas is one of the world's largest-capacity wind farms. With 627 wind turbines and a total installed capacity of 781.5 MW, owned and operated by RWE . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] At the time of its completion in 2009, it was the largest wind farm in the world, surpassing the nearby 735.5-megawatt Horse Hollow Wind Energy ...
