Wind Energy Powers 20% of Europe’s Electricity in 2024

In 2024, Europe achieved remarkable progress in wind energy, underscoring its pivotal role in the continent's energy transition.
Key Statistics:
Total wind power capacity: 278 GW
243 GW (87%) from onshore wind
35 GW (13%) from offshore wind
Wind energy supplied 20% of Europe’s electricity needs.

Top Performers:
Germany leads in onshore wind with a total capacity of 63.5 GW.
United Kingdom dominates offshore wind with over 14.7 GW of installed capacity.

What’s next? To meet the EU’s 2030 climate goals, the wind sector must install 30 GW annually, doubling the current pace.

Together, let’s push the boundaries of renewable energy and create a cleaner, greener future!
