A new report led by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) reveals a growing trend in distributed wind energy installations across the United States. The report highlights the diverse range of organizations, including electric vehicle manufacturers, schools, and Alaskan villages, adopting wind turbines to meet their energy needs.

An electric vehicle manufacturer, two schools and two Alaskan villages: these are just some of the organizations using wind turbines to help meet their energy needs.

Since 2003, around 92,000 distributed wind turbines—which together produce 1,110 megawatts of power—have been installed across the United States. In a pivot for distributed wind, most turbine capacity installed in 2023 supported on-site power for manufacturing or industrial plants rather than distribution on the grid for local use, the report authors found. In Illinois, for example, the electric vehicle company Rivian installed a 2.8 MW wind turbine to power an EV manufacturing plant—a new market for distributed wind, Sheridan noted. In Ohio, a lime manufacturing plant installed three 1.5 MW wind turbines.

The new turbine will provide about 35 percent of total generation for Stebbins and St. Michael. It will displace more than, saving them more than $360,000 in generation fuel costs. It’ll also reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by more than 1,000 metric tons annually.
