US wind power generation declined in 2023 for the first time since the 1990s due to weaker-than-normal Midwest breezes, despite adding new capacity. The offshore wind industry is poised to deploy over 100GW by 2050, with the Biden Administration proposing new offshore wind auctions off Maine and Oregon.

"A new Energy Information Administration (EIA) report revealed U.S. wind energy generation decreased by 2.1% in 2023, despite the sector adding 6.2 gigawatts of new capacity power. This is the first decrease reported since the 1990s." - me @IWF today https://t.co/XUKzHsqpZZ

#Wind generation declined in 2023 for the first time since the 1990s, via @EIAgov "Slower wind speeds than normal affected wind generation in 2023, especially during the first half of the year when wind generation dropped by 14% compared with the same period in 2022." https://t.co/WETv4Orn54

Even with new capacity, U.S. wind power declined in 2023. Why? The wind didn't blow as hard. https://t.co/x3awaun3qA

CHART OF THE DAY: US electricity generation from wind turbines fell in 2023 for the first time since the mid-1990s despite the addition of ~6 GW of new capacity, according to @IEAGov data. The culprit was lower wind speeds. Report: https://t.co/nI69AiBaul #EnergyTransition https://t.co/lDyBuEFgzG
