Electricity from wind in one U.S. state From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The U.S. Department of Energy has determined that West Virginia has significant wind power development opportunities,[1] with a potential of 69 gigawatts. As of the start of 2020, there were 376 wind turbines in operation in West Virginia with a generating capacity of 686 megawatts (MW) and responsible for 2.7% of in-state electricity production. An additional 56 MW was under construction.[2]
The state, a major coal producer, passed renewable portfolio standard legislation in 2009, but repealed it in 2015.[2][3]
