Technology advancement, state-level policies, and the federal production tax credit have fueled the wind sector’s growth in recent years, but the PTC for wind expired at the end of 2021, creating market uncertainty.
Twenty-two states installed new utility-scale land-based wind turbines in 2021. Texas installed the most capacity, with 3,343 MW. Other leading states include Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Kansas, which all added more than 1,000 MW of capacity in 2021., leading to more cheap clean energy production. The average capacity of newly installed wind turbines grew 9% from 2020 to 2021, to 3 MW.
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is planning areas for future leasing that could potentially provide another 4,532 MW of power.
