Wind Share of Electricity by Country 2022

About This Dataset

Wind Share of Electricity by Country 2022
Share of each country's total electricity generation that came from wind power in 2022, measured by Ember from reported national grid data. Covers countries that generated at least 10 TWh of electricity in the year, so very small island grids do not dominate the ranking.
Analysis

Denmark heads the table on 54.1, ahead of Ireland (33.7) and Uruguay (32.2) in Wind Share of Electricity Generation in 2022. 41.2 separates the highest figure (54.1) from the lowest (12.9). First and second are separated by 20.4, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. Places 3 to 15 are close together, spanning 32.2 to 12.9.
