For calendar year 2016, wind power in the United States amounted to 226.5 terawatt-hours, or 5.55% of all generated electrical energy. As of January 2017, the U.S. nameplate generating capacity for wind power was 82,183 megawatts (MW). This capacity is exceeded only by China and the European Union. Thus far, wind power's largest growth in capacity was in 2012, when 11,895 MW of wind power was installed, representing 26.5% of new power capacity.
But the U.S. lags behind other countries in wind power as a portion of the overall electricity supply. Denmark has the highest level of penetration, with wind making up 40 percent of the nationâs electricity demand. In Portugal, Ireland and Spain, wind makes up 20 percent to 30 percent of electricity used. In the U.S., wind power provides an estimated 5.6 percent of electricity demand.
