Department of Energy, wind turbines start producing electricity at wind speeds of around 6 mph and reach peak output at about 30–55 mph. Beyond this speed range, most turbines shut down to avoid mechanical damage.

Most onshore wind turbines have a capacity of 2-3 megawatts (MW), which can produce 6 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity every year. Over the course of a year, a turbine will generate about 30 of the theoretical maximum output, known as the capacity.
