The national average for energy consumption, is +/- 1.5KW instantaneous average, or ~1095 KWh/mo (1.5KW x 720 hrs/mo). Just like in real estate, the top 3 things to consider are: location, location, location - specifically regarding AVERAGE WIND SPEED. You can't calculate your AEO (annual energy output) based solely on the NREL or AWEA average wind speed recordings in an area. Typically in the Lower 48, the statistical wind power distribution is a Wiebull Distribution with a form factor of 2, which is called the Rayleigh Distribution.

The occasional very windy conditions contribute more to the overall energy production than the average wind conditions. This is due to the fact that the energy in wind is a function of the cube of its velocity, so every time the wind speed doubles, you get 8 times more power.
