Wind power in the United States

The Biden administration approved a new wind project off the Massachusetts coast on April 2 that is large enough it will provide more electricity than the state's former coal-fired generating station.

Avangrid's New England Wind is the United States' eighth large offshore wind project to be greenlit and is tied for the largest ever approved, but will probably be smaller.

The National Program for the Development of Offshore Wind Farms has created high expectations.

Orders for wind turbines were up in the first half of the year compared to 2022, after a rebound in purchases in North America and strong volumes in China, said a study published on Sept. 1.

Between January and June turbine orders for capacity reached 69.5 gigawatts, a 12 percent rise over in the first six months of 2022, according to research firm Wood Mackenzie.

New wind power farms with a total energy capacity of 252.5 megawatts and a total investment of 260 million euros were connected to the country's electricity grid in the first half of 2023, the Hellenic Wind Energy Association (HWEA) said in a report.

Knin – Slovenian energy company Petrol has opened its second wind farm in Croatia. Ljubač, situated near the town of Knin in south Croatia, has nine turbines, which should generate around 96 gigawatts of electricity a year, covering the needs of 30,000 households.
