U.S. cumulative wind capacity by state

There is some amount of distributed wind energy capacity in every state, however annual installations vary across the United States. Iowa was considered the leading state in terms of cumulative distributed wind capacity, reaching almost 222 megawatts in 2022.

Supplementary notes

Distributed wind systems are distributed energy resources connected at the distribution level of the electricity system or in microgrid or off-grid applications. Distributed wind systems can range from a less than 1 kilowatt (kW) off-grid wind turbine at a remote cabin or oil and gas platform, to a 10-kW wind turbine at a home or farm, to several multi-megawatt wind turbines at a university campus, at a manufacturing facility, or connected to the distribution system of a local utility.
