Wind Farms in Colorado: FAQ

How many wind farms are in Colorado?
34, with 6 GW of nameplate capacity between them, spread over 12 counties. That is the EIA-860M operating count for 2026-07.
Is there a map of Colorado wind farms?
Yes — the map above. Each dot is one wind farm, sized by nameplate capacity and placed at the coordinates EIA files for it.
Which is the largest wind farm in Colorado?
Rush Creek Wind, at 600 MW. The table is sorted largest first, so the rest follow it.
Is there a wind farm near me in Colorado?
The county roll-up below groups every plant by county, which is the quickest way to find the one closest to a given town.
Which grid operator runs Colorado's wind farms?
No single ISO or RTO covers most of them. EIA files each plant against its own balancing authority, which in Colorado is largely a vertically integrated utility rather than an organised market.
How current is this, and what is left out?
EIA-860M for 2026-07. Onshore and offshore wind turbines. Plants below 1 MW are not surveyed by EIA and so are absent; retirements and additions after 2026-07 arrive with the next monthly release.
