America’s wind power production drops for the first time
US wind power slipped in 2023 due to weaker-than-normal Midwest breezes despite the 6.2 GW added capacity, showing the challenge of integrating volatile renewable energy sources into the grid. The capacity factor for the country’s wind fleet (how much energy it’s generating versus its nominally possible output) declined to an eight-year low of 33.5%.
