The United States is expected to add more than 7 GW of wind installations in 2025, a 36% increase over the previous year, and the five-year outlook remains unchanged quarter-over-quarter from previous forecast, according to the “U.S. Wind Energy Monitor” report released by Wood Mackenzie and the American Clean Power Association (ACP).
Amid a challenging market environment, the report shows that the United States is on track to add 46 GW of new wind capacity from 2025 to 2029, with total projected volumes unchanged quarter-on-quarter from previous forecasts. However, timing has shifted, as 2026 and 2027 will deliver significant gains, at 10.7 GW and 12.7 GW, respectively, as more assets advance through the development pipeline.
