DOE's Wind Program is part of the federal government's effort to support the increased deployment of wind energy facilities on public, private, and tribal lands, airspace, and offshore. This site is a resource for information on the siting of wind turbines and Federal activities to support the increased deployment of wind energy.

A transformer transfers the electricity from one circuit to another (in this case the electric grid), modifying its characteristics. Various control systems are located on the nacelle to continuously monitor the wind turbine’s operational parameters, thereby producing renewable energy safely and maximizing the efficiency of the wind farm.

Local ordinances and zoning laws can determine the parameters of wind and solar energy projects, like the mandatory required distance from other infrastructure such as roads.

The Japan-U.K. compact shows Japanese companies still have an appetite for offshore wind, but local communities must not be left behind.

New Jersey residents gain local jobs and investments, training and research programs, and clean energy through the Ocean Wind 1 offshore wind farm.

The expansion of renewable energy is a cornerstone of climate policy. While wind energy is widely supported in principle, people living near wind turbines often experience the local consequences of the energy transition directly. A new study by researchers at Leipzig University now shows that the visibility of wind turbines can reduce support for renewable-energy policies under certain ...

The U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) provides the locations of land-based and offshore wind turbines in the United States, corresponding wind project information, and turbine technical specifications.

NEED works with energy companies, agencies and organizations to bring balanced energy programs to the nation’s schools with a focus on strong teacher professional development, timely and balanced curriculum materials, signature program capabilities and turn-key program management.

With the increasing demand for clean energy, wind turbines are gaining popularity in Pakistan—especially in coastal cities like Karachi. If you are considering installing a wind turbine, understanding the prices, system types, installation processes, and return on investment is essential. This guide covers everything you need to know in 2025.
