Wind resource map at 50m above ground. Wyoming has one of the highest wind power potentials of any state in the United States.In 2019, Wyoming had wind powered electricity generating capacity of 1,589 MW, which produced 9.85% of its electric generation, with an additional 3,753 MW under construction.
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.
Mendota Hills Wind Farm in northern Illinois. Wind power in Illinois provided nearly 10% of the state's generated electrical power in 2020 powering 1,231,900 homes. [1] At the end of 2020, Illinois had 6,300 megawatts (MW) of wind power installed, ranking fifth among states for installed wind turbine capacity. [2]

A 200 MW wind farm at 35% capacity factor will generate approximately 613.2 GWh/year. In addition to the megawatt wind farms, community scale single wind turbines of from 250 kW to 750 kW are typically 50 meters high, and residential or farm wind turbines are typically 15–40 m (49–131 ft) high.
TB Flats I & II Wind Farm is a 301.1-megawatt onshore wind farm located in Carbon County and Albany County, Wyoming, United States. [3] The project was developed by Invenergy and later transferred to PacifiCorp as part of their Energy Vision 2020 initiative.
The country's largest wind farm could help power California all the way from Wyoming. But first, it needs to get built. The Times podcast: A Wyoming wind farm to power California
In 2021, Wyoming had a total summer capacity of 10,096 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 46,017 GWh in 2022. [2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 71.1% coal, 22.1% wind, 4.3% natural gas, 1.9% hydroelectric and 0.5% solar.
