The European Wind Energy Association (now WindEurope) has estimated that 230 gigawatts of wind capacity will be installed in Europe by 2020, consisting of 190 GW onshore and 40 GW offshore. This would produce 14-17% of the EU's electricity, avoiding 333 million tonnes of CO 2 per year and saving Europe €28 billion a year in fuel costs.

Markbygden Wind Farm. / 65.417°N 20.667°E / 65.417; 20.667. The Markbygden Wind Farm is a series of interconnected wind farms in the Markbygden area west of Piteå, Norrbotten County in northern Sweden. The project is expected to be completed by 2025 and could have a total capacity of up to 4,000 megawatts (MW), comprising up to 1,101 ...
China alone had over 40% of the world's capacity by 2022. [ 3] Wind power is used on a commercial basis in more than half of all the countries of the world. [ 4] Denmark produced 55% of its electricity from wind in 2022, a larger share than any other country. Latvia's wind capacity grew by 75%, the largest percent increase in 2022.
Norway on Wednesday reached an agreement with the Sami people, ending a nearly three-year dispute over Europe’s largest onshore wind farm and the Indigenous right to raise reindeer. Energy ...
In 2016, bioenergy was the leading source of renewable energy in the European Union, at 59.2% of gross energy consumption, most of which was used for heating and cooling (74.6%), followed by electricity generation (13.4%) and biofuels (12.0%). [ 50 ] Biomass is burned both for heating and electrical generation, often in the form of pellet fuel.
During 2015, 40.4 TW·h of energy was generated by wind power and the quarterly generation record was set in the three-month period from October to December 2015, with 13% of the nation's electricity demand met by wind. [ 31 ] 2015 saw 1.2 GW of new wind power capacity brought online, a 9.6% increase of the total UK installed capacity.
