World wind power generation statistics

How much wind power does the world need?

The world's installed wind power capacity now meets around 10% of global electricity demand – another important milestone. More than ten countries now have a wind power share of more than 20%, led by Denmark, which generates an astonishing 56% of its electricity from wind.

Which countries generate the most electricity from wind?

More than ten countries now have a wind power share of more than 20%, led by Denmark, which generates an astonishing 56% of its electricity from wind. Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, the UK and Uruguay are among the countries that generate around a third or more of their electricity from wind.

How many GW of wind power are there in 2022?

The worldwide total cumulative installed electricity generation capacity from wind power has increased rapidly since the start of the third millennium, and as of the end of 2022, it amounts to almost 900 GW.

How much wind power does the United States have?

In another major milestone, the United States passed 150 Gigawatt of total wind capacity, but the market was much weaker than in the previous year, adding only 6,4 Gigawatt - much less than in 2022 and in 2021, when 13,7 GW were added, more than double the capacity of 2023.

Which countries produce the most wind energy in 2022?

In the context of regional growth, the Middle East, Latin America, South East Asia, and Africa saw their combined contributions to wind power generation increase from 8% to a promising 10% in 2022. China, the global leader in wind energy generation, produced a staggering 466.5 MWh in 2022, accounting for over 40% of the world's wind energy.
