That depends on how you measure it. The method used by the power companies is to put a meter directly on the wind turbine and measure it. A one megawatt system will deliver about 7% of the claimed power or about 70,000 KWH's each hour.
This power will vary quite a great deal so a fossil fuel plant is used to supply power behind this device. This system runs at almost full power and is not attached to the grid. This means that while the wind system is indeed putting out power and we are claiming that it is helping us. There is also no real savings as the power from the old plant is still being produced, just wasted.
There is also the horrible up time for these systems. Most systems are down almost weekly.
The death of many flying creatures is also a factor that makes them less environmentally friendly. Massachuttes claims over 100K bird and bats are killed their alone.
There are fewer less environmentally friendly methods of generating power then these systems, their main advantage is that they make many people feel we are doing something good for the environment, when in fact, they are a negative producer of power and are damaging the environment.
The amount of energy produced by wave power in a year depends on several factors such as location, wave intensity, and technology efficiency. On average, a single wave energy device can produce anywhere from a few hundred kilowatt-hours to several megawatt-hours of electricity per year. However, it is important to note that wave power is still a relatively emerging technology with varying output levels.
The output of nuclear reactors varies but if we take 1000 MWe as typical, and there are 8760 hours in a year, this gives 1000 x 8760 MegaWatthours, or 8760 GigaWatthours, or 8.760 TeraWatthours.
The average person consumes about 3,500 kilowatt-hours of energy in a year.
The amount of energy produced by wind power has several different factors, such as the amount and strength of the wind. However, some studies show that a 1.8 MW wind turbine can produce over 4,700,000 kWh of energy per year if located at a reasonable site.
The number that tells you how much electrical energy a machine will use in one year of average use is called the annual energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh). It is a measure of the total energy the machine consumes over the course of a year if used normally.
1 wind turbine can generate 500 houses per year (kw)
123,456,789,100 is how much Americans produce
2.4 million kilowats
4,000GWh that's 4,000,000,000kWh
Sun releases energy at the mass-energy conversion rate of 4.26 million metric tons per second. That is 384.6 yotta watts.You will need to multiply that up to get the yearly output.
A coal plant can produce different amount of energy. It depends on the size of the plant.

A large nuclear power reactor will have a thermal output of about 3000 MW. If this runs all day every day it will therefore produce 3000 x 365 MWD (Megawattdays) of energy in a year.
