The repository contains wind speeds and generation based on three different meteorological models: ERA5, MERRA2, and HRRR. Data are publicly accessible in simple csv files.
Annual electricity generation from wind is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh) per year. This includes both onshore and offshore wind sources.
Wind supplies 57% of Denmark''s electricity generation and over 20% in ten other countries. 7 Global wind additions reached a record 117 GW in 2023. 7 In 2024, onshore installations surpassed 100 GW
The energy generated over time depends on the wind mill potential power generation (as indicated above) - and how often, or how many hours the wind blows - or more scientifically - the "wind speed
Wind power is one of the cleanest and most sustainable sources of energy available to us right now. It is an infinite resource that will never run out, and which produces zero emissions
Wind power, as a clean and renewable energy source, plays an increasingly important role in the global transition to low-carbon energy systems. However, its inherent volatility and

Wind power is a branch of the energy industry that has expanded quickly in the United States over the last several years. In 2024, 451.9 terawatt-hours were generated by wind power, or 10.49% of electricity in the United States. The average wind turbine generates enough electricity in 46 minutes to power the average American home for one month. In 2019, wind power surpassed hydroelectric power as the largest renewable energy source in the U.S
In March and April of 2024, electricity generation from wind exceeded generation from coal, once the dominant source of U.S. electricity, for an extended period for the first time.
Last year, the average utilization rate, or capacity factor, of the wind turbine fleet fell to an eight-year low of 33.5% (compared with 35.9% in 2022, the all-time high). The 2023 decline in wind
