The Northeast leads the country in net-metered wind electricity generation capacity
The Northeast leads the country in net-metered wind electricity generation capacity Since 2011, net-metered wind electric generating capacity in the Northeast has grown faster than in the rest of the United States. Like small-scale solar photovoltaic systems, many of which are net-metered, net-metered wind systems are much smaller than their utility-scale counterparts. Although the amount of net-metered wind in the United States is smalljust 0.2% of all U.S. wind capacity in 2017much of it has come online in the past few years because of state policies that encourage the adoption of small-scale wind turbines.
