Which country has the most wind power?

China is the world leader in wind energy, with over one-quarter of the world’s wind power capacity. The country has the world’s largest onshore windfarm in Gansu Province, built out of the Gobi Desert. The project's 10GW peak capacity sits a long way above its closest rival at time of writing, though announced projects will soon rival it.

Which state has the most wind energy?

The state of Ontario has the largest amount of wind energy, with over 5GW installed. On the other hand, many states have little to no wind generation. The largest wind farm in Canada is the Rivière-du-Moulin project in Quebec, which has a total capacity of 300MW.

Which countries have the highest wind turbine capacity in 2023?

Here are the countries with the highest wind turbine capacity as of 2023: Capacity figures include both onshore and offshore wind are on an alternating current basis. China leads the world in wind energy, boasting a wind turbine capacity of 441,895 megawatts—nearly three times that of the U.S., which ranks second.

Where is the largest wind farm in the world?

The Gansu Wind Farm, also known as the Jiuquan Wind Power Base, is in the west of Gansu province in China, on the outskirts of the Gobi Desert. With a planned capacity of 20GW, it’s the world’s largest wind farm. Once completed, the farm will be home to 7,000 turbines and will produce enough energy to power a small country.

Which country has the highest installed wind capacity?

Germany – installed wind capacity of 64GW In Europe, Germany has the highest installed wind capacity, with more than 60GW. Its largest offshore windfarms are the Gode Windfarms (phase 1 & 2), which have a combined capacity of 582MW.

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.
