Wind power in Ohio has a long history. As of 2016, Ohio had 545 megawatts (MW) of utility-scale wind power installations, responsible for generating 1.1% of the state's electricity.[1] Over 1000 MW more were under construction or pending approval.[2] Some installations have become tourist attractions.[3][4] There has been a sudden increase in generating capacity, as the total wind power capacity in the state was just 9.7 MW in 2010.[5] By 2019, there were 738 MW of capacity, which generated 1.71% of Ohio's electricity.[6]
Ohio's first large wind farm, Timber Road II near Payne in northwest Ohio, opened on October 6, 2011.[7][8] It was surpassed in June 2012 by the 304 MW Blue Creek Wind Farm.[9]
