Wind Power Takes Off

Installed wind power of each country, from 2000 to 2025

Wind turbines turn moving air into electricity without burning anything. A gigawatt (GW) is a thousand million watts: enough for hundreds of thousands of homes when the wind blows.
Germany led in 2000, the United States took over in 2008 and China has been first since 2011.
Capacity is what a wind farm could produce at its best. How much it really makes depends on how hard the wind blows.
