A product of AWEA Data Services

Released July 27, 2017

The U.S. wind industry reported 25,819 megawatts (MW) of wind capacity under construction or in advanced development as of the end of the second quarter of 2017, a 41% year-over-year increase.

Project developers installed 357 MW during the second quarter, bringing year-to-date installations to 2,357 MW. There are now 84,405 MW of installed wind capacity in the United States.

Power purchase agreements (PPA) representing 1,697 MW were signed during the second quarter, contributing to a total of 3,443 MW of PPAs announced in 2017. Six corporate purchasers signed wind PPAs for the first time.

Key Takeaways

2017 Wind Project Installations

• The U.S. wind industry installed 357 MW of wind capacity during the second quarter, bringing year-to-date installations to 2,357 MW.

• Four states commissioned a total of 143 turbines across six projects during the second quarter. Kansas led with 178 MW, followed by North Dakota (150 MW), Iowa (22 MW), and Nebraska (7 MW).

• Kansas became the fifth state in the U.S. to surpass 5,000 MW installed capacity.

• There are now 84,405 MW of installed wind capacity in the United States, with more than 52,000 wind turbines operating in 41 states plus Guam and Puerto Rico.

• GE Renewable Energy, the newly merged Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, and Vestas installed a combined 97% of the 2,357 MW commissioned during the first half of 2017.

Wind Capacity Under Construction or in Advanced Development

• There are now 14,004 MW under construction and 11,815 MW in advanced development, a combined 25,819 MW of wind capacity, a 41% year-over-year increase and the highest level since AWEA began tracking both categories at the beginning of 2016.

• Project developers announced 2,495 MW in new construction activity and 1,346 MW in new advanced development activity during the second quarter, a combined 3,841 MW.

• 30% of combined activity is located in the Midwest, with an additional 27% located in Texas, and 22% in the Mountain West.

Wind Power Procurement Activity

• Project developers signed 1,697 MW of PPAs during the second quarter, contributing to a total of 3,443 MW of PPAs signed during 2017. PPA volume for the year is outpacing each of the last four years.

• Corporate customers represent 37% of total project capacity contracted during the second quarter (632 MW). All six companies, including Akamai Technologies, Apple, General Mills, Goldman Sachs, Partners HealthCare, and T-Mobile, signed U.S. wind PPAs for the first time.

• The remaining 1,065 MW of PPAs include the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) offshore renewable energy credit (OREC) orders awarded to two planned offshore wind energy projects for 20-year terms.

• Six requests for proposals (RFP) were released during the second quarter for up to 1,450 MW of wind-eligible capacity, including the state of Massachusetts’ request for a minimum of 400 MW (up to 800 MW) of offshore wind capacity.


Note: Utility-scale wind capacity includes installations of wind turbines larger than 100-kW for the purpose of the AWEA U.S. Wind Industry Quarterly Market Reports. Annual capacity additions and cumulative capacity may not always add up due to decommissioned and repowered wind capacity. Wind capacity data for each year is continuously updated as information changes.

AWEA Industry Data & Analysis


AWEA Industry Data & Analysis

New Data Products in 2017

AWEA released its ninth annual “U.S. Wind Industry Annual Market Report Year Ending 2016” on April 11th, 2017.

The 164-page report provides a comprehensive review of U.S. wind industry trends, detailed market rankings, wind project activity, jobs growth, economic benefits, manufacturing data, and more.

Members can download the report for free and non-members can purchase the report at http://www.awea.org/amr2016.

AWEA’s new report “Property Tax Treatment of Commercial Wind Energy Projects” provides a comparative overview of state property tax treatment in the 40 states with operational wind projects at the end of 2016.

Created in partnership with the law firm Polsinelli, the report is designed to help AWEA members navigate the complex and varying property tax structures among different states and localities, and act as an educational tool for state level policy advocacy.

Members can download the report for free at http://www.awea.org/propertytax.
