Latest Database Release: USWTDB_V7_1_20240814
The latest release includes data on 74,833 turbines covering 45 states plus Guam and Puerto Rico. The most recent turbines added to the USWTDB became operational as recently as the first quarter of 2024, with a few from the second quarter of 2024. The oldest turbines in the data set were installed prior to 1990. USWTDB releases generally lag installations by one quarter to allow for merging of the various datasets, visual verification, and quality control.
*Note: We are now producing a public dataset of decommissioned turbines that have been removed from the USWTDB. This dataset currently includes over 11,600 turbines that have been confirmed as decommissioned, along with their location and attributes. The decommissioned turbine dataset can be found in XLSX format under "Related Files" below. Variable definitions can be found in the USWTDB Codebook.
