Wind generation declined in 2023 for the first time since the 1990s
U.S. electricity generation from wind turbines decreased for the first time since the mid-1990s in 2023 despite the addition of 6.2 gigawatts (GW) of new wind capacity last year.
U.S. Wind Power 2025: Capacity, IRA, Renewable Growth
U.S. Wind Power 2025 drives record capacity additions, with FERC data showing robust renewable energy growth, IRA incentives, onshore and offshore projects, utility-scale generation, grid
A Decade of U.S. Wind Growth
U.S. wind capacity has more than doubled over the last 10 years (from 2014 to 2023). Texas, Iowa, and Oklahoma led in wind generation in 2023. But many other states have seen major
Key US wind power trends and metrics to track | Reuters
Shortages of parts, jumps in labour costs and drawn-out development timelines have slowed the pace of wind farm construction in the last couple of years.
Changes in US wind speeds since 2000 point to a dynamic landscape
This recent change in the climate cycle could last decades, positively impacting power generation at wind farms and continuing the trend of the 18% year-over-year increase in renewables in the first half.
Recent technology and challenges of wind energy generation: A review
Further, the paper briefly discusses certain future wind generation technologies, namely airborne, offshore, smart rotors, multi-rotors, and other small wind turbine technologies.

Will wind energy continue to grow? Experts expect continued transitions to wind power in the coming decades. In particular, offshore wind has the potential to play a big role in part because
Recent Development and Future Perspective of Wind Power Generation
Here, the most recent developments and future perspectives of wind power generation in the scientific literature are briefly reviewed. Five decisive topics for the future development of onshore
Wind Farms of the Future Will Be More Powerful and Quieter
A new Berkley Lab analysis finds that despite an expected future reduction in the number of turbines per power plant, the total estimated annual energy output of wind plants will increase due
