+ As a result of strong public policy, California was the first U.S. state in which large wind energy projects were developed, beginning in the early 1980's.

+ Wind energy projects totaling 3,141 MW of capacity are operating in California today, providing enough electricity to power about 829,000 California households. 1 This represents a near-doubling of capacity since California's RPS law was adopted in 2002.

+ Wind energy projects comprise most of the development that has occurred under California's renewable energy law as of 2010.
