Wind Energy




Wind is one of the faster-growing renewable energy sources globally, supported by advances in turbine size, offshore deployment, and grid integration technology. Wind farms can be deployed onshore or offshore (offshore has higher wind speeds and fewer siting conflicts), each with distinct infrastructure, siting, and supply chain considerations.

The total wind power capacity in the U.S. in 2025 is about 140 GW, with projected growth to 300 GW by 2030. This represents about 12% of total capacity today, and up to 20% of total capacity by 2030.

As with solar energy, wind energy suffers from intermittency and variability; grid connection delays; local opposition (visual impact); and, supply chain concentration in certain regions.


Wind vs Solar

Wind is like civil engineering: bespoke, location-specific, and constrained by physical scale and material inputs. Wind energy won't vanish, but its role will evolve toward gap-filling, utility-scale, coastal energy supply, and diversification rather than being the dominant growth engine like solar.

Solar energy, by contrast, is the "digital tech" of renewables — modular, mass-manufactured, globally traded, and on a predictable cost-down path. PV cells benefit from global semiconductor/manufacturing economies of scale, few moving parts, quickly deployed, and cheaply maintained.

Energy System Integration

Wind energy is often paired with:

  • Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for smoothing intermittency.
  • Hydrogen production (via electrolysis) during peak generation.
  • Microgrids in remote or islanded applications.
  • Hybrid plants with solar PV for complementary generation profiles.
