Wind power plants produced about 132 TWh in 2025 and were about 3. The share of onshore wind was about 106 TWh, and offshore wind generated about 26. The world's wind power sector recorded strong growth in the first half of 2025, with global installations rising by 64% compared to the same period of 2024. Wind power took first place as the strongest net electricity producer, followed by photovoltaics, which increased its production by 21 percent in 2025 and overtook. Bonn (WWEA) – 2025 marked a watershed moment for the global wind power sector. According to preliminary statistics released by the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA), the world added 169'014 Megawatts (MW) of new wind capacity – a 35% increase over 2024 – bringing total global installations to. Renewable energy statistics 2025 provides datasets on power-generation capacity for 2015-2024, actual power generation for 2015-2023 and renewable energy balances for over 150 countries and areas for 2022-2023. Data was obtained from various sources, including an IRENA questionnaire, official. Europe now has 291 GW of wind power capacity, with 254 GW onshore and 37 GW offshore. The EU is expected to build 22 GW of new wind farms annually from 2025 to 2030 which will take its cumulative installed capacity to 344 GW but has a target of 425 GW by. In 2025, net generation of wind and solar together accounted for 760,000 gigawatthours (GWh) of electricity, 88,000 GWh more than in 2024, according to data from our Electric Power Monthly.
