At the end of September 2008, the United States wind power installed nameplate capacity was 21.02 GW, which is enough to serve 5.6 million average households. $9 billion was invested in 5.3 gigawatts of new U.S. wind power capacity in 2007, causing the total U.S. wind power capacity to increase by 46%. Wind power accounted for 35% of all new U.S. electric generating capacity in 2007. American wind farms will generate an estimated 48 terawatt-hours (TWh) of wind energy in 2008, just over 1.5% of U.S. electricity supply. In addition, new transmission facilities under development throughout the country should allow the future development of at least another 200 gigawatts of wind power.

In addition, new transmission facilities under development throughout the country should allow the future development of at least another 200 gigawatts of wind power. The growing U.S. wind market spurred new investment in turbine and component manufacturing plants, with enough new and planned facilities to create more than 4,700 new U.S. jobs.
