Wind Facilities' Installed Capacity by State

Nebraska has the twenty–sixth largest installed capacity of wind in the country, based on the latest figures.  As of the third quarter of 2012, Nebraska has the installed capacity of 337 megawatts of wind energy, which is less than one percent of the nation's installed capacity of 51,630 megawatts.  Texas has the largest installed capacity (10,929 megawatts which is 21 percent of the nation's total), and Delaware has the smallest installed capacity (2 megawatts).  Thirty–nine states have wind facilities.

The wind energy section of the state energy office's energy statistics has more information as well as American Wind Energy Association's Industry Statistics.
