The 2025 Global Wind Report shows global wind capacity reaching 1,136 GW, with 55 countries adding new turbines in 2024. China led new installations, followed by the USA, Germany,
For the first time, the Report has conductedan annual forecast of global new energy generation capacity, noting that global wind power and photovoltaic generation capacity will increase
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.
By the end of June 2025, total installed capacity reached 1,245 GW (1.25 TW), representing an annual growth rate of 13.5%, with wind supplying around 12% of global electricity
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
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 U.S. is expected to add more than 7 gigawatts (GW) of wind installations in 2025, a 36% increase over the previous year, and the five-year outlook remains unchanged quarter-over
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
In 2024, global wind capacity additions reached around 125 GW, and this momentum is expected to continue into 2025. The GWEC Global Wind Report 2025 reviews the industry''s 2024 performance
As a result of new solar projects coming on line this year, we forecast that U.S. solar power generation will grow 75% from 163 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2023 to 286 billion kWh in
