The largest wind farm in the world is the Roscoe Wind Complex in Texas, built by a unit of Germany's E.ON AG, with a generating capacity of 782 megawatts, according to rankings from the American Wind Energy Association.

I drove through this area one year ago, and this farm is MASSIVE! It spans some 20 miles along I-20 and is centered around Sweetwater, TX which now bills itself as the "wind capitol of the world". Turbines were still being constructed in December 2008.
Some pictures from November 2008, this is a Wind Farm near Paw Paw, IL; one of the largest installations in Illinois.
