- The first all-steel windmill and tower was produced by the United States Wind Engine & Pump Co. The first electricity-generating wind turbine was invented in 1888 in Cleveland, Ohio by Charles F. Brush.The turbine’s diameter was 17 meters (50 feet), it had 144 rotor blades made of cedar wood, and it generated about 12 kilowatts (kW) of power.ith current tax credits, wind energy offers American customers the cheapest electrical energy option. At a cost of $35 per Megawatt hours (MWh), wind is cheaper than coal at $37 per MWh and natural gas at $50 per MWh (in 2004 dollars).
