Monthly wind generation in grid operator ISO New England’s territory averaged 68% higher year-over-year during the first nine months of 2026.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported the regional generation increase. Its October 14 Today in Energy excerpt says monthly wind generation in ISO New England, or ISO-NE, averaged 68% above the comparable period in 2025. The comparison covers the first nine months of 2026.

The metric concerns electricity generated, not installed wind capacity. Its scope is ISO-NE’s territory rather than the entire United States. The 68% figure is the reported average increase across the covered monthly comparisons, not a claim that every month rose by exactly that amount.

The supplied excerpt does not identify the drivers or absolute generation volumes. It contains no new-project breakdown, capacity additions, or attribution to weather conditions. It also provides no electricity-price or data-center procurement figures, so those effects cannot be quantified from this source.
