Currently (2010) around 2.4%
This number is increasing yearly because of new installations of wind turbines. These are often constructed in areas with low population density and with high average wind speeds.
In 2009 about 1.8 percent of the electricity generated in the United States was generated by wind power. This amount has been increasing by a fraction of a percent each year for the last several years. Texas generates the most power by wind of any state, over 14 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009. Iowa generates the most power by wind as a percentage of all the electricity generated in the state, 14.2% in 2009.
