Compare the wind energy installed capacity of India to the world and the total installed wind energy capacity of the world is 621 GW, and India has 37.26 GW or 6% shear of the total wind energy. India has total installed wind energy capacity is 35.6 GW as of 31st March 2019 and produced around 52.66 Billion units during 2017–18.
In this interactive chart, we see the share of primary energy consumption that came from renewable technologies – the combination of hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal, wave, tidal, and modern biofuels. Traditional biomass – which can be an important energy source in lower-income settings is not included.
The report highlights increasing momentum on the growth of wind energy worldwide: Total installations of 117GW in 2023 represents a 50% year-on-year increase from 2022. 2023 was a year of continued global growth – 54 countries representing all continents built new wind power. GWEC has revised its 2024-2030 growth forecast (1210GW) upwards by

According to the latest data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global electricity generation from wind power was approximately 1,335 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2020. This represents an increase of 16% compared to 2019 and is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of more than 130 million average households in the United States.
Global wind generation reached a new record high, adding enough new electricity in 2023 to power all of Poland. Wind rose by 10% (+206 TWh) to 2,304 in 2023. China is the biggest generator of wind power at 886 TWh, (9.4% of its electricity mix), while Denmark has the highest share of wind generation at 58% (19 TWh). 32 countries
Global generation of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy – alongside hydropower – is one of our oldest low-carbon energy technologies. Nuclear power generation has existed since the 1960s but saw massive growth globally in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The interactive chart shows how global nuclear generation has changed over the past half-century.

Globally, 77.6 GW of new wind power capacity was connected to power grids in 2022, bringing total installed wind capacity to 906 GW1, a growth of 9% compared with 2021. The world''s top five markets for new
That widespread rise in wind output has helped push wind power''s share of China''s total electricity generation steadily higher, to an average of 11.4% during the first quarter of 2024 from 9.6% during all of 2023, according to Ember. That share compares to around 62% for coal and around 12% for hydro, and so cements wind power as China''s
