This statistics illustrates the cumulative capacity projections for onshore wind in select European Union (EU-28) countries by 2030. In this low scenario, Germany will have the highest cumulative capacity at 60 GW. This is almost equal to France and Spain combined. The cumulative capacity in the United Kingdom would be projected at 13 GW. In total, the cumulative capacity from onshore wind would be 207 gigawatts.
Onshore wind cumulative capacity low scenario* projections in the European Union by 2030, by country
(in gigawatts)
*According to the source, In the Low Scenario, no binding templates are agreed for National Energy and Climate Plans leading to weak governance, a challenging implementation of the post-2020 Renewable Energy Directive and failure to deliver the EU-wide 27% renewable energy target. Persistent overcapacity continues to 2030. The new market design is not able to guarantee increased renewable energy penetration, and system costs are therefore not reduced. No significant progress is made in electricity interconnections between Member States. Grid congestion issues continue to slow down new installations. The offshore wind energy pipeline of projects is below 4 GW/year, and cost reductions do not materialise.
