The cumulative capacity of installed wind power worldwide amounted to approximately 1,021 gigawatts in 2023. Onshore wind power accounted for the majority of total wind power capacity, at about 946 gigawatts that year.
Emerging markets such as those in Latin America and Southeast Asia are expected to drive the upcoming wind development market. Additional government support and policies will allow for faster market growth in these regions. Global renewable energy generation as a share of total generation continues to grow as renewable technologies become more cost-effective.
