In 2019, France’s onshore wind sector was composed of around 900 companies, employing just over 20000 people. [54] In 2021, this number is now over 25000 people. [55] If Macron’s France 2030 stays on track with its vision, jobs in the renewable energy industry, including wind, are projected to continue increasing until 2030.
Wind power showed potential for replacing natural gas in electricity generation on a cost basis. By 2021 wind energy produced 4872 terawatts-hour, 2.8% of the total primary energy production [51] and 6.6% of the total electricity production. [52] Technological innovations continue to drive new developments in the application of wind power.
Wind turbines in Champagne-Ardenne.. In 2021 France reached a total of 18,676 megawatts (MW) installed wind power capacity placing France at that time as the world's seventh largest wind power nation by installed capacity, behind the United Kingdom and Brazil and ahead of Canada and Italy.
Wind power's share of worldwide electricity usage in 2023 was 7.8%, up from 7.3% from the prior year. [a] [3] In Europe, wind was 12.3% of generation in 2023. [3] In 2018, upcoming wind power markets rose from 8% to 10% across the Middle East, Latin America, South East Asia, and Africa. [6]
Wind power installed in Europe in 2013 . As of 2023, Europe had a total installed wind capacity of 255 gigawatts (GW). [1] In 2017, a total of 15,680 MW of wind power was installed, representing 55% of all new power capacity, and the wind power generated 336 TWh of electricity, enough to supply 11.6% of the EU's electricity consumption.
