Why does wind generate electricity?

Answer 1

Wind itself does not generate electricity, but using wind turbines it is converted into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

"Simply stated, a wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Take a look inside a wind turbine to see the various parts. View the wind turbine animation to see how a wind turbine works."

Answer 2

Wind generates electricity through wind turbines, which have blades that spin when wind blows. This spinning motion drives a generator inside the turbine to produce electricity. The kinetic energy of the wind is converted into mechanical energy, and then into electrical energy that can be used to power homes and businesses.
