In 2020, the European Union produced roughly 350 terawatt hours of wind energy, including 300 terawatt hours of onshore wind and 50 terawatt hours of offshore wind. Wind power generation is projected to grow to some 957 terawatt hours by 2030 according to a scenario based on stated policies. By 2050, wind power production is projected to reach three petawatt hours.
