The El Niño climate pattern, which weakens tradewinds, definitely had a hand in that. Wind generation in the East North Central states – Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin – declined by 6% compared with 2022. Wind generation from August through December, however, was 2.4% higher than during the same period in 2022.

Regional differences in climate, electric grid burdens, and driving patterns compound to produce significant regional heterogeneity in the GHG benefits of electrification. The results highlight the need for a portfolio of fuel efficient offerings to recognize the heterogeneity of regional climate, electric grid burdens, and driving patterns.
