Annual reports analyzing the wind energy industry released today by the Energy Department show continued rapid growth in wind power installations in 2015, demonstrating market resilience and underscoring the vitality of the U.S. wind energy market on a global scale. Wind power provides clean energy to homes and businesses, reduces climate-changing carbon pollution, and boosts America's economic competitiveness. The U.S. wind power market remained strong in 2015 thanks to continued low prices, more-efficient wind turbines, and fast-growing demand nationwide.

"Sustained low wind energy prices and solid growth in installations helped make 2015 one of the best years for our nation's renewable energy market," said Acting Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy David Friedman. "These reports show that with more American homes and businesses powered by wind energy than ever before, our nation's clean energy future is bright."
