In 2024, the total wind power capacity installed worldwide surpassed 1.1 terawatts, growing by more than 100 gigawatts in comparison to the previous year. China is the leading country
Collectively, the top 10 wind power plant operators in the world had a total capacity of 121,164MW, where NextEra Energy Inc was the highest (20,878MW), followed by Iberdrola SA
In 2017, a total of 15,680 MW of wind power was installed, representing 55% of all new power capacity, and the wind power generated 336 TWh of electricity, enough to supply 11.6% of the EU''s electricity
Share of wind power in electricity generation and consumption. The world''s installed wind power capacity now meets well over 10% of global electricity demand – and much more than nuclear
To achieve global decarbonisation goals in time, the International Energy Agency says annual wind capacity additions need to increase from around 115 GW in 2023 to 340 GW in 2030.
Total wind (on- and off-grid) electricity installed capacity, measured in gigawatts. This includes onshore and offshore wind. This is the citation of the original data obtained from the source,
The Wind Power is a comprehensive database of detailed raw statistics on the rapidly growing sphere of wind energy and its supporting markets. It containts data about wind farms, turbines, manufacturers,
Also includes information on each country''s actual yearly production of wind-generated electricity, as well as the amount of electricy generated in offshore wind farms as compared on onshore farms.
The Global Wind Power Tracker (GWPT) is a worldwide dataset of utility-scale, on and offshore wind facilities. It includes wind farm phases with capacities of 10 megawatts (MW) or more.
In 2025, the global wind energy sector continues its strong upward trajectory, with total installed capacity surpassing 1,170 GW and over 117 GW added in the past year alone. This surge reflects increased
