Wind turbine generator capacity and total installed capacity

About Wind turbine generator capacity and total installed capacity

Total wind (on- and off-grid) electricity installed capacity, measured in gigawatts. This includes onshore and offshore wind.

The average capacity of newly installed wind turbines grew 7% from 2021 to 2022, to 3.2 MW, while the hub height—distance from the ground to the middle of the turbine’s rotor—increased 4% from 2021 to 2022, to 98.1 meters, slightly taller than the Statue of Liberty.

Wind energy generation, measured in gigawatt-hours (GWh) versus cumulative installed wind energy capacity, measured in gigawatts (GW). Data includes energy from both onshore and offshore wind sources.

Total Installed Wind Capacity: 136,650 MW. Source: American Clean Power Association. Year. 1999. 2000. 2001. 2002. 2003. 2004.

Globally, 77.6 GW of new wind power capacity was connected to power grids in 2022, bringing total installed wind capacity to 906 GW1, a growth of 9% compared with 2021. The world’s top five markets for new installations in 2022 were:

6 FAQs about [Wind turbine generator capacity and total installed capacity]

How much power can a wind turbine produce?

Today’s new wind power projects have a turbine capacity in the 3-4 MW range onshore and 8-12 MW offshore. The amount of power that can be harvested from wind depends on the size of the turbine and the length of its blades. The output is proportional to the dimensions of the rotor and to the cube of the wind speed.

How big is a wind turbine?

Wind turbine capacity has increased over time. In 1985, typical turbines had a rated capacity of 0.05 MW and a rotor diameter of 15 metres. Today’s new wind power projects have a turbine capacity in the 3-4 MW range onshore and 8-12 MW offshore.

How much wind power is installed in 2022?

How big is a wind turbine in 2021?

What is the average capacity of wind turbines in 2023?

The average capacity of newly installed U.S. wind turbines in 2023 was 3.4 megawatts (MW), up 5% since 2022 and 375% since 1998–1999. In 2023, there was an increase in the proportion of turbines installed in the size category of 3.5 MW or larger.

How many gigawatts of wind power are there in 2023?
