U.S. wind-turbine orders reached 2.8 GW in the second quarter, ahead of the tax-credit deadline.

Utility Dive reports second-quarter U.S. wind-turbine orders totaling 2.8 gigawatts, citing Wood Mackenzie. The article places the ordering activity ahead of a tax-credit deadline. This figure measures ordered turbine capacity, not operating generation, electricity produced, or power contracted to data centers.

The report also provides a longer-term onshore construction outlook. Wood Mackenzie says the U.S. wind industry remains on course to add 39 GW of onshore new-build capacity by 2030. That is the report’s forecast, not capacity already commissioned.

More than half of the 2026–2028 project pipeline is reported to be operating or under construction. Wood Mackenzie cites that status as limiting near-term risk. The supplied excerpt does not identify the remaining projects’ financing status, the exact tax-credit cutoff, or any AI-specific power offtake agreements.
