Wind turbine manufacturers installation capacity in the U.S. 2023

The American company, GE Wind, was the largest wind turbine manufacturer in the United States in terms of installation capacity at around 3,752 megawatts in 2023. With a total capacity of approximately 1,918 megawatts, the Danish manufacturer, Vestas, ranked second in that year. 

General Electric invests in renewables

GE Wind is a branch from the General Electric division, GE Renewable Energy. Created in 2015, GE Renewable combined the wind power assets of two GE purchases, and the headquarters was moved from upstate New York to Paris, France. Though based abroad, GE Wind remains the only American company among the leading wind turbine manufacturers in the United States.

The globalized wind turbine market

With its extensive overseas operations, Copenhagen-based Vestas dominates the international wind turbine manufacturer market with over 15 billion euros in revenue in 2022. In 2023, Vestas delivered more wind turbines to the United States than to any other country, followed by deliveries to Brazil. The United States has the second highest cumulative installed capacity of wind power worldwide after China, but still relies heavily on international manufacturers such as Vestas or Nordex.
