According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Texas accounts for 27% of the total wind energy generated in the United States. Texas wind farms maintained 33.1 gigawatts of generation capacity as of December 2020. That figure is more than the next three highest states (Iowa, Oklahoma, and Kansas) combined. Energy generated from wind in Texas alone was enough to power over 8.25 million average homes. As Texas wind farms grew over the past decade, researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas led projects that advanced the industry. Register to hear Michael Mendoza speak about the significance of wind energy and the development of UTD’s Wind Energy Center.
