There is not any sort of guaranty that you are in a windy spot - some embark sites have no wind, hence no wind power. The only way to find out is to build a windmill and see how much power you get out of the thing. You can get 0, 20 or 40 Urists of power.

There's safe. Then there's unsafe. And then there's the average dwarf fort, which remains unrated because the OSHA inspector flatly refused to go anywhere within a dozen miles of the place.

The first three forts I tried windmills on were all 0, I guess you've been luckier than I was, at least until now  :P

Are you on multiple biomes? I'm not sure, but it's possible a different biome has wind.
Otherwise, you'll have to find a spot to set up waterwheels.
