Wind power in Kansas
open-in-new
<p>In the U.S. State of <a href="/facts/Kansas/koenIXmE">Kansas</a>, <a href="/facts/Wind_power/vlNN3u16">wind power</a> is the largest source of electricity, generating over 47% of the state's electricity in 2022. Kansas has a high potential capacity for wind power, second behind <a href="/facts/Wind_power_in_Texas/VdXTNt8I">Texas</a>. The most recent estimates (2012) are that Kansas has a potential for 952 GW of wind power capacity yet had only about 5.6 GW installed by year end 2018. Kansas could generate 3,102 TW·h of electricity each year, which represents over 75% of all the electricity generated in the United States in 2011. This electricity could be worth $290 billion per year (at 9.35 cents per kW·h). </p>
