This Wind Generation Interactive Query Tool created by the CEC. The visualization tool interactively displays wind generation over different time intervals in three-dimensional space. The viewer can look across the state to understand generation patterns of regions with concentrations of wind power plants. The tool aids in understanding high and low periods of generation. Operation of the electric grid requires that generation and demand are balanced in each period.,

,This map illustrates the variety of median project capacity sizes across the United States and California counties for wind projects whose total nameplate capacity is greater than or equal to 1 MW. The absence of projects in the southeastern United States is attributable to low average wind speeds (United States - Annual Average Wind Speed, AWS Truepower and National Renewable Energy Lab). Hurricane strength winds are not usable with current technology. Median project capacity is a function of the statewide capacity and the number of projects within the defined area.

For more information, contact John Hingtgen at John.hingtgen@energy.ca.gov. The map illustrates the variation in median plant capacity across the United States and California of wind plants with nameplate capacity of at least 1 MW. Median plant capacity depends on the statewide capacity and the number of plants 0 60 120 240 Miles within the defined area.,

,,This map illustrates the variety of average project capacity sizes across the United States and within the state of California, for wind projects whose total nameplate capacity is greater than or equal to 1 MW (20 CCR § 1385). Average project capacity is a function of the statewide, or countywide, nameplate capacity and number of projects within the defined area. The absence of projects in the southeastern United States is arbitrable to low average wind speeds (United States - Annual Average Wind Speed, AWS True power and National Renewable Energy Lab), and insufficient hurricane-resistant technology. 1 August 2019 Produced by the California Energy Commission Projection: NAD 1983 (2011) USA Congruous Albers Equal-Area Conic Authors: Dylan Kojimoto (916) 651-0477, John Hingtgen (916) 657-4046, Brandon Davis Data: Energy Information Administrator (EIA-860) and Wind Performance Reporting System (WPRS),
