Which countries are leading the way in onshore wind energy?
The global wind market is on the rise. With installations totalling 60.4GW, 2019 was the second largest year in the history of the wind sector and close to the bumper year of 2015 (63.8GW).
In the onshore wind market, 54.2GW was installed in 2019, an increase of 17 per cent year over year. China and the USA remained the world’s largest onshore markets, together accounting for more than 60 per cent of new onshore additions, according to the Global Wind Report 2019.
Here are the countries leading the way in the onshore wind market:
China
China has identified wind resources as a vital growth factor for the country’s economy. Today, wind energy constitutes the third largest energy source in China.
As the world’s largest wind market, China grid-connected 23.8GW of onshore wind in 2019, boosting its total onshore installations to 230GW.
By 2030, China aims to produce 50% of its energy from non-fossil sources, such as nuclear and renewable sources.
United States of America
The second-largest market in 2019 was the US. The 9.1GW of new onshore installations in 2019 brings its total onshore to above the 100GW threshold. Since 2000, wind is the largest source of new renewable power generation with more than 82GW installed across 41 states.
The wind sector has the potential to support more than 600,000 jobs in the USA by 2050.
The states spending the most on wind power projects over the next 10 years are Texas, Massachusetts, New York, Wyoming, and New Mexico.
India
India has the second-highest wind capacity in Asia. The country registered a 30% increase in wind power energy's installed capacity.
