Ashtabula Wind II LLC is a 120 MW wind power plant located in the United States of America, operated by Ashtabula Wind II LLC since its commissioning in 2009. The facility generates electricity using wind energy, contributing to the country's renewable energy capacity. It is the 353rd largest wind plant in the United States. With 120 MW, it represents 0.11% of the country's total wind capacity of 105,842 MW. The United States has 1,142 wind plants with a combined capacity of 105,842 MW. Compared to the country's largest wind plant, Alta Wind VIII at 1,547 MW, this facility is approximately 0.08 times the size. Wind power plays an increasing role in the United States energy mix, accounting for around 9% of total electricity generation. The development of wind farms like Ashtabula Wind II LLC supports efforts to transition to cleaner energy sources. The plant is located approximately 1,300 km northwest of New York City in the northern plains region.

United States of America — Energy ProfileWind power generation harnesses the kinetic energy of wind to produce electricity, making it one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources globally. This process begins with wind turbines, which consist of large blades mounted on a tower. As the wind blows, it causes the blades to rotate, transforming the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy through a generator connected to the turbine. The efficiency of wind turbines has significantly improved over the past decades, with modern designs capable of generating power even at low wind speeds.
