US Wind Turbine Locations & Specs: Wind data from the U.S. Wind Turbine Database (Radius Search, FAA & EIA IDs)

Get every utility-scale wind turbine in the United States from U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USWTDB) data: exact coordinates, project name and online year, manufacturer and model, capacity, hub height, rotor diameter, total tip height, county, FAA obstruction case numbers and EIA plant ID. No API key, no login. Published by BigSky Data Tools.

NOT FOR SAFETY-CRITICAL USE: data may be delayed or incomplete; not for life-safety, navigation or emergency decisions; use the official U.S. Wind Turbine Database (USGS, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and American Clean Power Association).

Why use this wind turbine dataset tool?

• 📍 Radius search, nearest first: "every turbine within 2 miles of this parcel, airstrip, tower site or home". Each row has distanceMiles.
• 🏗️ Full technical specs: kW, hub height, rotor diameter, swept area and total height in meters.
• 🔎 Filters: states, manufacturer (Vestas, GE, Siemens Gamesa, Nordex...), project name, online year range, minimum kW, onshore or offshore.
• 🔗 Join keys: FAA ORS/ASN obstruction numbers, EIA plant ID and county FIPS.
• 🇺🇸 The whole country (75,000+ turbines) in one run, or a single county.
• 🧾 Radius summary: in radius mode the run also saves a SUMMARY record in its key-value store (turbine count, nearest distance, count within 1 mile, tallest turbine, total MW, projects).

How it compares

	This tool	Typical alternatives
One row per turbine with full specs	Yes	Summary counts near a point
FAA ORS/ASN and EIA plant IDs	Yes	Varies
Whole country in one run	Yes (75,000+)	No
Radius summary (count, nearest, tallest, MW)	Yes	Yes

Who uses it

Energy analysts and wind developers, repowering and O&M service sellers, component and crane suppliers, land agents and appraisers, real-estate buyers checking nearby turbines, telecom and radar siting teams, agricultural aviation, insurers, and researchers.

Pricing

$7 per 1,000 results ($0.007 per result) plus a $0.01 start fee per run.

You pay per turbine saved. A radius search usually returns a few dozen turbines; a whole state can be several thousand.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the public API of the U.S. Wind Turbine Database, a public-domain dataset maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the American Clean Power Association. You are responsible for how you use the data. How current is it? USWTDB is updated quarterly. Very new or decommissioned turbines may lag. Is this tool run by the data agency? No. BigSky Data Tools is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by USGS, LBNL or ACP.
