Wind Share of Electricity by Country 2022

About This Dataset

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.

✨ AI Insight

Denmark took 54.1% of its electricity from wind in 2022, already more than 20 points above Ireland at 33.7%. Uruguay at 32.2% is the highest non-European entry and the only South American one. The striking feature of this table is the middle: nine countries sit between 15% and 25%, meaning a large group of European grids had reached roughly a fifth wind power at the same time. Kenya at 16.5% and Morocco at 12.9% are the two African entries, both driven by single large wind projects rather than a broad build-out.
