• The U.S. wind industry installed 6,478 megawatts (MW) during the fourth quarter of 2016, the second strongest quarter for installations on record. • The 8,203 MW total installed during 2016 represents $13.8 billion in new investment. With 99% of wind projects located in rural areas, much of this investment is ﬂowing to rural communities. • The U.S. now has an installed capacity of 82,183 MW, with over 52,000 wind turbines operating in 40 states plus Guam and Puerto Rico. • There are now over 18,300 MW of wind capacity under construction or in advanced development, with 6,345 MW in combined new announcements. U.S. WIND INDUSTRY FOURTH QUARTER 2016 MARKET UPDATE #windworks | American Wind Energy Association | www.awea.org Texas a National Leader in Wind Energy • Texas ranks ﬁrst in the nation with 20,321 MW of installed capacity, enough to power the equivalent of 5.7 million average U.S. homes every year. • Annually, these projects will provide local landowners and ranchers with more than $60 million in land lease payments. • The Lone Star State has nearly 3 times the installed capacity of any other state and supports up to 25,000 jobs in wind. • Texas led in total installations for the year (2,611 MW); with more than 2,447 MW in new construction announcements, Texas hosts 52% of current construction activity (5,401 MW). • Cumulatively, the state has attracted more than $38 billion dollars in project investment. Approximately 70% of the current installed wind capacity in Texas is located in low-income counties (14,185 MW), driving $25.2 billion in project investment and more than $40 million in annual land lease payments.
