Solar and wind are growing fast enough to meet all new electricity demand worldwide for the first three quarters of 2025, according to new data from energy think tank Ember.
Wind power generation will grow moderately to 476 billion kWh in 2025, representing 11% increase, the EIA said, adding that wind capacity will stay relatively flat this year. Coal power...
Q1 2025 wind installations more than doubled compared to the same period last year, but regulatory uncertainty drove turbine orders down 50% in the first half of 2025—reaching their lowest level since
Wind power generation, 2025 Annual electricity generation from wind is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh) per year. This includes both onshore and offshore wind sources.
The first half of 2025 has been a defining period for the global wind energy sector – not only for its record-breaking growth but for the clarity it provides about the world''s energy direction.
The EIA forecasts continued growth in renewable energy, including 7.7 GW of new wind capacity expected in 2025. By 2028, onshore wind generation is projected to increase to 175.4 billion
Manufacturers are investing in larger and more efficient wind turbines, allowing for higher energy generation with reduced environmental impact. Large-scale turbines with rotors and higher
According to data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), wind energy accounted for 30.1% of the new electricity capacity added in January 2025, and as the most-used renewable
We expect the combined share of generation from solar power and wind power to rise from about 18% in 2025 to about 21% in 2027. In our STEO forecast, utility-scale solar is the fastest
The renewable power capacity data shown in these tables represents the maximum net generating capacity of power plants and other installations that use renewable energy sources to produce
