Description: 

In this short communication, plant-level generation records and surface wind speed observations are used to investigate two questions: one, is there evidence that increased wind speeds account for a substantial portion of the capacity factor growth observed over the last decade? Two,how do interannual trends in surface wind speed observations relate to interannual trends in recorded capacity factor?
