OFFSHORE WIND: Dominating International Breezeways

It’s hard to doubt the power of a cool breeze.

Scouting the world’s blustery breezeways has resulted in over 1,136 gigawatts (GW) of total cumulative wind energy capacity installed across every continent. Yes, Antarctica included.

In 2024, five countries — China, the United States, Germany, India and Brazil — were responsible for the majority of new wind turbine installations. China led with 79,824 megawatts (MW) or 79 GW, nearly 20 times the totals in the United States (4,058 MW) and Germany (4,022 MW). As a whole, the global industry set a record installation high by introducing 117 GW of new capacity, according to new data released by the Global Wind Energy Council.
