Wind Electric Power Generation
NAICS 221115 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating wind electric power generation facilities. These facilities use wind power to drive a turbine and produce electric energy. The electric energy produced in these establishments is provided to electric power transmission systems or to electric power distribution systems.

Wind electric power generation facilities operate arrays of wind turbines — ranging from single installations to utility-scale wind farms with dozens or hundreds of turbines — that convert wind energy into electricity via rotating blades and generators. Generated power is typically fed into the regional grid through transmission interconnects. Day-to-day operations involve remote monitoring, scheduled preventive maintenance, and periodic blade inspections, often performed by specialized technicians using rope access or crane equipment.
Questions to investigate
- How many turbines are in the project, and what are the make, model, and age of the turbine fleet?
- Is there a current operations and maintenance agreement in place with the turbine OEM or a qualified third-party service provider?
- What is the total insurable value of the project — towers, nacelles, blades, substation, and interconnect infrastructure?
- Is the project operating under a power purchase agreement, and if so, what are the output commitment terms?
