Wind power in Idaho

Español

Edit links

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Electricity from wind in one U.S. state

Wind power in Idaho could generate more energy than the state uses.

Overview

[edit]

At the end of 2016,Idaho had 973 MW of wind power generating capacity installed, accounting for over 15% of its generated electricity.^[1]

Idaho could potentially install 18,000 MW of wind power, capable of generating 52,000 million kWh/year according to a study by theNational Renewable Energy Laboratory.^[5] Idaho used 23,063 million kWh in 2016^[6]

Wind farms

The 125 MW Goshen Wind Farm has been the state's largest wind facility since year 2010.^[7]
