Total wind power generation in 2030

How much wind energy will be produced by 2030?

The report examines the costs, major impacts, and challenges associated with producing 300 GW of wind generating capacity, which is equivalent to 20% wind energy, by 2030. The report's conclusions include:

How will solar PV & wind impact global electricity generation?

The share of solar PV and wind in global electricity generation is forecast to double to 25% in 2028 in our main case. This rapid expansion in the next five years will have implications for power systems worldwide.

How much wind power is installed in 2022?

Globally, 77.6 GW of new wind power capacity was connected to power grids in 2022, bringing total installed wind capacity to 906 GW1, a growth of 9% compared with 2021. The world’s top five markets for new installations in 2022 were: Altogether, they made up 71% of global installations last year, collectively 3.7% lower than 2021.

How much renewable power will the world have by 2030?

Between now and 2030, the world is on course to add more than 5 500 gigawatts of renewable power capacity – roughly equal the current power capacity of China, the European Union, India and the United States combined. By 2030, we expect renewables to be meeting half of global electricity demand.”

How much wind power will Europe install in 2024-2030?

The volume of new offshore installations is growing – last year it was a record 3.8 GW in Europe. But 2/3rds of the new wind installations up to 2030 will continue to be onshore. We expect Europe to install 260 GW of new wind power capacity over 2024-2030. The EU-27 should install 200 GW of this – 29 GW a year on average.

How much wind power does the world need?

The world's installed wind power capacity now meets around 10% of global electricity demand – another important milestone. More than ten countries now have a wind power share of more than 20%, led by Denmark, which generates an astonishing 56% of its electricity from wind.
