Wind electricity installed capacity. Data by Countries from 1997 to 2023

Official statistics by year of wind electricity installed capacity (GW). The values are presented in tables and charts with calculations of changes and shares, and with extensive analytical functionality.

Wind Power by Country 2026

Wind power''s total cumulative installed electricity generation capacity has increased rapidly since 2000, and continues to expand faster than any other form of energy.

Wind energy

Wind power has grown rapidly since 2000, driven by R&D, supportive policies and falling costs. Global installed wind generation capacity – both onshore and offshore – has increased by a factor of 98 in

Total Installed Global Wind Energy Capacity Grew to 906 GW. This

Globally, 77.6 GW of new wind power capacity was connected to power grids in 2022, bringing total installed wind capacity to 906 GW1, a growth of 9% compared with 2021.

Global Statistics

The world''s installed wind power capacity now meets well over 10% of global electricity demand – and much more than nuclear power. More than 30 countries now have a share of wind

Wind power by country

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

Global Wind Power Tracker

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.

Installed wind energy capacity

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,
