Top 13 Largest Wind Farms in the World by Capacity
Explore the top 13 largest wind farms in the world by capacity, with key facts, stats, and global clean energy insights.
Wind power generation, 2025
Annual electricity generation from wind is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh) per year. This includes both onshore and offshore wind sources.
Wind Power by Country 2026
Wind turbines appear in a vast range of sizes. Single, small turbines that generate fewer than 100 kilowatts are often used in residential, agricultural, and
Electricity generation from wind
Total annual U.S. electricity generation from wind energy increased from about 6 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2000 to about 434 billion kWh in 2022. In 2022, wind turbines were the source

In 2024, wind supplied over 2,494 TWh of electricity, which was 8.1% of world electricity. To help meet the Paris Agreement''s goals to limit climate change, analysts say it should expand much faster than it currently is – by over 1% of electricity generation per year. Expansion of wind power is being hindered by fossil fuel subsidies.
