Total monthly wind power generation

Global Statistics

These countries demonstrate that the world as a whole can achieve a 40-50% share of wind power in total electricity generation, as outlined by the WWEA in a long-term scenario.

13 Compelling Wind Energy Statistics & Facts (Updated 2026)

But how effective is wind power, how much are we using it, and which countries lead the way? How does wind energy compare to other energy sources, and what are its pros and cons?

Wind generation declined in 2023 for the first time since the 1990s

Last year, the average utilization rate, or capacity factor, of the wind turbine fleet fell to an eight-year low of 33.5% (compared with 35.9% in 2022, the all-time high). The 2023 decline in wind

Electricity generation from wind

In 2022, wind turbines were the source of about 10.3% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation. Utility scale includes facilities with at least one megawatt (1,000 kilowatts) of electricity

Offshore development is hindered by relatively high cost compared to onshore facilities. Several projects are under development with some at advanced stages of development. The United States, though, has very large offshore wind energy resources due to strong, consistent winds off the long U.S. coastline. The 2011 NREL report, Large-Scale Offshore Wind Power in the United States, anal

U.S. Monthly Power Generation

Natural gas continue to be the dominant power generation fuel source in the U.S. Despite significant growth in recent years, solar and wind remain far behind natural gas power generation.

Monthly Wind and Solar Capacity Data

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

Wind Energy Factsheet

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
