Wind farms have generated a record share of U.S. electricity production so far in 2024, and are the second largest source of clean power behind nuclear plants in the U.S. generation system.
Operators expect 7.1 GW of wind capacity to come online in the United States in 2024, according to our July Monthly Energy Review. After 22.3 GW of U.S. coal-fired electric generating
In this episode of the Wind Power podcast, three key figures in the UK wind industry speak to Windpower Monthly about the critical opportunities – and challenges – ahead of the country''s next
Wind and solar developers often bring their projects on line at the end of the calendar year. So, the new capacity tends to affect generation growth trends for the following year.
Daily wind power generation growth has been muted since 2022. June 2024 wind generation was 10.2% of the total stack versus 7.9% in 2023. Despite capacity additions, the record
Daily wind power generation growth has been muted since 2022. Despite capacity additions, the record high for daily wind generation as a percent of total generation is from October
Wind supplies 57% of Denmark''s electricity generation and over 20% in ten other countries. 7 Global wind additions reached a record 117 GW in 2023. 7 In 2024, onshore installations surpassed 100 GW
This dataset contains monthly capacity data for wind and solar, including both total installed capacity as well as month-on-month and year-to-date additions. It covers 25 countries and/or regions, which
Wind speeds increased later in 2023, and wind generation from August through December was 2.4% higher than during the same period in 2022. Wind speeds had been stronger
The current minimum target reserve margin established by the ERCOT Board of Directors is 13.75 percent of peak electricity demand to serve electric needs in the case of unexpectedly high
