How to read the wind potential score
Capacity factor is a normalized wind-potential score from 0 to 1. Higher is better. A value like 0.05 means the historical wind resource averaged about 5% of rated potential for that period. These values are conservative because they are derived from NOAA weather observations and a simplified turbine-inspired power curve, not measured turbine production.

Monthly Wind Profile — TX, 2023
Changing the year updates this monthly profile. Peaks show months where historical wind potential was strongest for the selected state.
31-Year Wind Potential Trend — TX
This compares long-run annual wind potential with average wind speed. It helps show whether a state has stable resource strength or large year-to-year variation.
Strongest Long-Run Wind Resource States
This chart compares which states consistently showed the strongest historical wind resource across 31 years of NOAA observations. Higher values indicate stronger long-run wind potential.
Highest-Wind Weather Stations — TX
These are the strongest processed NOAA weather stations in the selected state. Station coordinates are included when metadata exists in the historical pipeline exports.
