Introduction

A database of existing wind turbines in the United States is available for import in windPRO using Data -> Online WTG Data. The database has been published by the U.S. Geological Survey (http://usgs.gov) and consists of more than 47.000 wind turbines as of July 2013. Turbine positions have been verified by U.S. Geological Survey using visual interpretation of high-resolution aerial imagery.

Coverage

The database covers United States. Note that offshore wind farms are not included. See http://eerscmap.usgs.gov/windfarm/ for an interactive map displaying coverage.
