About This Dataset

Countries by Installed Wind Power Capacity 2024

Countries ranked by total installed wind energy capacity in 2024, measured in Gigawatts (GW) according to Global Wind Energy Council annual statistics. China has built more wind power capacity than the rest of the world combined — installing more new wind turbines each year than any other country's entire existing fleet, as part of a national transition strategy targeting carbon neutrality before 2060 through the world's most ambitious renewable energy build-out.

Analysis

The top three in Installed Wind Capacity (GW) in 2024 are China (441), United States (149) and Germany (69). China alone accounts for more than the other 7 entities combined: 441 against 376 Installed Wind Capacity (GW). Only 1 of the 8 reaches even half the leader's figure (220.5 or more).
