Wind energy is one of the fastest growing forms of electricity generation in the United States, with the largest share renewable electricity generating capacity in the country.  
According to this latest [AWEA] report, wind power generated 6.3% of US electricity in 2017.
Overall, operating wind power capacity grew by 9% in 2017, with the installation of ~7 GW worth of new capacity, bringing the country’s cumulative capacity up to ~89 GW, or around 54,000 wind turbines operating in 41 states (as well as Guam and Puerto Rico).

This is a 1 GW installation long in the making.
Offshore = NdFeB-based PMDD platform.
As of February 28th, 2018, India had an installed wind energy capacity of ~33 gigawatts. The government has set a target to increase this figure to 60 gigawatts by March 2022. The government is expected to auction 10 gigawatts of wind energy capacity each in 2018-19 and 2019-20 to this effect.
