Installed wind energy generating capacity now totals 6,374 MW, and is expected to generate about 16.7 billion kWh of electricity in 2004. However, that is still less than 1% of U.S. electricity generation. By contrast, the total amount of electricity that could potentially be generated from wind in the United States has been estimated at 10,777 billion kWh annually—three times the electricity generated in the U.S. today.

US electricity: 4,157 MWh in 2007
