California Wind Resource Areas: Mid-Level Wind Potential
All of California’s wind farms–6000+ megawatts producing 15,200 gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually as of 2021–are on land already zoned for wind energy production. Wind Harvest estimates that, if fully built out on existing wind farms in the Wind Resource Areas, H-type vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) could add 10 GW of capacity and about 31,500 GWh of…
United States Mid-Level Wind Resources in Wind Farms
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. Summary of onshore…

A projected 32 megawatts (MW) of the wind farms in Switzerland 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. Summary of onshore wind farms and H-type…
Spain Mid-Level Wind Resources in Wind Farms
A projected 2,961 megawatts (MW) of the wind farms in Spain have mid-level wind speeds over 6.5 meters per second (m/s) at 15 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. Summary of onshore wind farms and H-type…
Portugal Mid-Level Wind Resources in Wind Farms
A projected 988 megawatts (MW) of the wind farms in Portugal have mid-level wind speeds over 6.5 meters per second (m/s) at 15 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. Summary of onshore wind farms and H-type…
