A projected 22,059 megawatts (MW) of the wind farms in the United States (excluding California) have mid-level wind speeds over 6.5 meters per second (m/s) at 20 meters above ground level (agl). These wind farms could double their output by adding H-Type wind turbines like Wind Harvesters under and around existing turbines.
