Installed capacity and power generation of wind turbines
Wind energy generation vs. installed capacity
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.
Global Wind Report 2023
