6 FAQs about [European wind power generation in 2025]

How much wind power will Europe have in 2030?

The EU 2030 target is 425 GW. We expect Europe's total installed wind power capacity to exceed 450 GW by 2030. Europe ordered 9.4 GW of new wind turbines in H1 2024. This was 11% up on H1 2023. The 9.4 GW breaks down 7.4 GW onshore and 2.1 GW offshore.

How much wind power does Europe have in 2021?

Europe’s wind farms generated 437 TWh of electricity in 2021. They covered 15% of the electricity demand in the EU-27+UK. Europe now has 236 GW of installed wind power capacity: 207 GW onshore and 28 GW ofshore. The EU-27 has 189 GW installed: 173 GW onshore and 16 GW ofshore. Europe decommissioned 396 MW of wind capacity in 2021.

How much wind power will the EU have in 2022?

In 2022, the total installed wind power capacity in the EU reached 204 GW (gigawatts), most of which was onshore (92 %). The European Commission estimates that new EU target of at least 42.5 % renewable energy in energy consumption by 2030 will require installed capacity to grow to over 500 GW by 2030.

How much wind power does Europe have?

As the new European Parliament and Commission take office following the EU elections in June, this autumn update outlines the latest data for wind energy in Europe and our expectations for the rest of the decade. Europe now has 278 GW of wind power capacity, with 243 GW onshore and 35 GW offshore. The EU-27 has 225 GW of wind power capacity.

How many GW of offshore wind will Europe have by 2050?

installed capacity of at least 60 GW of offshore wind by 2030 and 300 GW by 2050. In January 2023, Member States agreed on non-binding goals for offshore renewable energy across all EU sea basins of 111 GW by 2030 and 317 GW by 2050 (this includes ocean energy in addition to wind).

How much wind power will Europe have in 2024?

Annual build-out of offshore wind should ramp-up significantly towards the end of the decade. We anticipate installations over 2024-2030 to take the EU to 393 GW by the 2030. The EU2030 target is 425 GW. We also see Europe's installed wind power capacity exceeding 500 GW over the same timeframe.
