In this paper we analyzed the resource utilization of wind turbine projects deployed at locations across the world. We find that leading countries  with significant wind generation capacity deployed, such as Germany or Denmark have started exhausting their prime sites offering the best in-country wind resources and, especially as projects started to get larger in size on average, the mean wind speed of the locations where wind turbine projects are deployed decreases exponentially over time. Only the best projects (likely the first commercial pilots) are deployed to the sites with the average resource quality, all the rest gets deployed to locations that exponentially decay in quality over time (as cumulative deployment increases and projects also get larger).
