Annual full generating hours of wind power

About Annual full generating hours of wind power

Annual electricity generation from wind is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh) per year. This includes both onshore and offshore wind sources.

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.

In this year's World Wind Energy Association Annual Report, we proudly present unprecedented achievements in wind energy installations across our planet. 2023 has been a record-breaking year, with a total global capacity now exceeding 1’047’288 Megawatt, thanks to the addition of 116 Gigawatt of new capacity — a staggering 12,5% growth .

Annual global onshore wind installations surpassed 100 GW for the first time in 2023, while the U.S. experienced a slowdown. 10.8 GW of offshore wind capacity was added worldwide, a 24% increase from 2022, bringing global offshore wind capacity to 75.2 GW.

Today more than 72,000 wind turbines across the country are generating clean, reliable power. Wind power capacity totals 151 GW, making it the fourth-largest source of electricity generation capacity in the country.
