Wind power in Texas consists of many wind farms with a total installed nameplate capacity of 7,907 megawatts (MW) from over 40 different projects, as at April 2009.[1][2][3] Texas produces the most wind power of any U.S. state, followed by Iowa with 2,883 MW.[1][4] Wind energy accounts for 3.3% of all the electricity used in the state and is growing, while large portions of wind energy produced in Texas also goes to markets in other states.
