U.S. Wind Power Projects (USGS Wind Turbine Database)
U.S. · 1,825 locations
There are 1,825 Wind Power Projects (USGS Wind Turbine Database) in the US as of October 2026. They are in 46 states and territories.
1,825 wind power projects, built from the 77,839 turbines in the USGS U.S. Wind Turbine Database, release 9.1 of 28 September 2026. A row is one project name in one state.
More about this list
Each gives the turbines the database holds and the project count and capacity USGS publishes. It also gives the year, the makers and models with a count of each, and the ranges of rating, hub height, rotor and total height. 239 projects have 100 or more turbines in the database. 1,428 carry EIA plant ids. The map point is the centre of the project's turbines. USGS could not name 183 groups of turbines and lists them as "unknown <area>". Those rows can cover a whole wind area. USGS publishes no owner or operator.

Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?
No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the U.S. Wind Power Projects (USGS Wind Turbine Database) and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=us-wind-farm-list with the filters you need and show you the count and price.
Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.
How assistants ask
No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.
If a question needs filtering, distance, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.
Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>
Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>
Leave out what the question does not need. Distance is radius, in straight-line miles; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.

?Frequently Asked Questions
How many Wind Power Projects (USGS Wind Turbine Database) are there in the US?
There are 1,825 Wind Power Projects (USGS Wind Turbine Database) in the US as of October 2026. They are in 46 states and territories.
What is a row?
One project name in one state. A project that crosses a state line is one row per state. The turbineIds column lists the turbines, which are rows of our wind turbine list.
Why can the turbine count differ from USGS's project count?
USGS publishes a project turbine count beside each turbine. The database sometimes holds fewer or more turbines under that name. Both are columns: turbinesInDatabase and projectTurbinesPublished.
Does it name the owner or operator?
No. The EIA plant ids link each project to EIA-860, which names the operator.
How current is the data?
Snapshot built on October 27, 2026. It is a one-time snapshot and is not rebuilt on a schedule.
