ÌýReport HighlightsÌý

  • Amid a challenging market environment, the report shows that theÌýUS is on track to add 46 GW of new wind capacity from 2025 to 2029, with total projected volumes unchanged quarter-on-quarter from previous forecasts.Ìý
  • Timing has shifted, as 2026 and 2027 will deliver significant gains, at 10.7 GW and 12.7 GW, respectively, as more assets advance through the development pipeline.
  • The market has shown progress with 3.8 GW queued for Q4 2025—representingÌý52% of the year’s total expected capacity. This back-loaded installation pattern is consistent with typical project-commissioning timelines.Ìý

US turbine order intake has rebounded to pre-One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) levels quarter-over-quarter, supported by 2+ GW of firm commitments in Q3, the biggest intake in the region in the last 9 months and a 79% quarter-over-quarter increase. However, true visibilityÌýremainsÌýlimited as OEMs increasingly withhold projectÌýdetailsÌýand much qualifying “start-of-construction” activity occurs through off-siteÌýcomponentÌýmanufacturing.Ìý

The report also includesÌýkey quarterly trends and analysis on impactful market regulation, policy, system prices, and supply chain across all segments. The report provides industry professionals with actionable and intelligent insights to better inform business decisions.Ìý
