Brazos Wind Ranch in Texas.

This is a list of large wind farms in the United States, including farms with a generating capacity of 170 megawatts (MW) or more, or the three farms which are the largest in a given state and have a generating capacity of 120 MW or more.

As of May, 2015 there are no offshore wind farms in the United States. Construction has however started on the first offshore wind farm, the 30 MW Block Island Offshore Wind southeast of Block Island, Rhode Island.[1]
