I need to know how much wind is on my land.

Click on the U.S. map to view individual state wind maps.

If you are planning to install your own wind turbine or wind farm, you must know if the wind resource (or amount of wind) in your location is adequate. To view a collection of state wind maps, visit wind resources.

I need to know how much power existing wind projects are producing.

Click on the U.S. map to view data on installed wind capacity.

If you want to know where existing wind projects are located and how much power they are producing, or about planned projects, see installed wind capacity.
