• 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.
