Wind industry installed a record 117 GW of new capacity globally in 2024, and GWEC forecasts almost 1TW of additional installations by 2030.
Newly added wind energy capacity for 2024 included 109 gigawatts from onshore sources and 8 gigawatts from offshore sites across 55 countries. In total, the world has now reached
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 power above the world
With 117 GW of new installations worldwide 2024 marked another record year for wind energy. Onshore wind with 109 GW connected to the grid accounted for about 83% of new installations, reaching a record-high.
The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) has reported a record-breaking 127 gigawatts (GW) of new wind power capacity installed in 2024, according to its latest Supply Side Data report.
Last year''s additions included 109 GW of onshore wind and 8 GW of offshore wind, raising total global installed wind capacity to 1,136 GW. Wind turbines were installed in 55 countries across all
China added approximately 79.8 gigawatts of wind power capacity in 2024. The cumulative capacity of installed wind power worldwide surpassed one terawatt in 2024.
Cumulative installed wind energy capacity including both onshore and offshore wind sources, measured in gigawatts (GW).
