The Wind Power is a comprehensive database of detailed raw statistics on the rapidly growing sphere of wind energy and its supporting markets. It containts data about wind farms, turbines, manufacturers,
Wind turbine manufacturers installed 127 gigawatts of new power capacity worldwide in 2024, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).
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,
The Global Wind Energy Council''s flagship Global Wind Report showed that new capacity hit a record in 2024 for the second time in a row, following two years of declines.
The market share of turbines with power rating greater than 5000 kW was 63 per cent in 2024, 7.3 per cent higher than 2023, primarily due to larger onshore turbines were installed in China and more
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
Goldwind continued to lead the ranking as the world''s biggest wind turbine supplier, with 19.3GW of new wind capacity added in 2024. Envision retained second place with 14.5GW.
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.
China is by far the largest installer of wind power in the world, more than tripling the second-ranked United States. As of the end of 2024, China had cumulatively installed over 561
