In the U.S. State of Kansas, wind power is the largest source of electricity, generating over 41% of the state's electricity in 2019.[1] Kansas has a high potential capacity for wind power, second behind Texas. The most recent estimates (2012) are that Kansas has a potential for 952 GW of wind power capacity yet had only about 5.6 GW installed by year end 2018. Kansas could generate 3,102 TW·h of electricity each year,[2] which represents over 75% of all the electricity generated in the United States in 2011.[3] This electricity could be worth $290 billion per year (at 9.35 cents per kW·h[4]).
