The American Wind Energy Association's 2018 Annual Market report shows Kansas passing Iowa to claim the number one spot in wind energy production in the United States. The report states that 36.4% of our state's total electricity was produced by wind power in 2018.
Recent development of wind energy in Kansas can be found in part by looking through state government publications. You can view some of these publications online at the State Library of Kansas' KGI Online Library:
