The United States has 77,839 utility-scale wind turbines, according to the September 2026 release of the U.S. Wind Turbine Database, and 165,461 MW of wind capacity, according to the Energy Information Administration. We ranked the states five ways: number of turbines, capacity, turbines built in 2025, capacity added in the past year, and the manufacturers behind them.
Texas is in a league of its own
Texas has 19,943 turbines, a quarter of the national fleet, and 43,987 MW of capacity, more than Oklahoma (13,741 MW), Iowa (13,259 MW) and Kansas (9,651 MW) combined. Iowa has more turbines than Oklahoma, but Oklahoma has more capacity, because the two measures reward different things: one counts machines, the other how much power they can produce.
New Mexico's big year
New Mexico added 4,082 MW of wind capacity between July 2025 and July 2026, 39.3% of the national increase of 10,397 MW, and the turbine database shows 828 turbines built there in 2025, more than any other state. Nationwide 3,156 turbines were built in 2025. Massachusetts added 798 MW as the offshore Vineyard Wind project came online.
Who makes the turbines
GE Wind built 35,326 of the turbines in the database, 45.4%, and Vestas 18,247. Siemens, Gamesa and Siemens Gamesa, which merged in 2017, add up to 10,173.

About the data
Turbine counts come from the U.S. Wind Turbine Database (version 9.1, 28 September 2026), maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the American Clean Power Association. Capacity comes from EIA's Electric Power Monthly. Offshore turbines in federal waters are not assigned to a state in the turbine database. For how much of each state's electricity comes from wind, see our chart of wind's share of generation by state, and for power prices, our post on electricity prices by state.
