In 2008, the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), a non-profit trade association, outlined a future strategy for wind energy that would reach a capacity of 55,000 MW by 2025, fulfilling 20% of the country's energy needs. The plan, Wind Vision 2025, could create over 50,000 jobs and represent around CDN$165 million annual revenue. If ...
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 energy's share of Canada's total energy consumption has grown at an average rate of 40% annually. Although wind power still accounts for less than 1% of Canada's total energy consumption, the programs the WPPI laid the path for have helped renewable energy sources take on about 11.1 percent of Canada's total energy consumption.
This is a list of U.S. states by total electricity generation, percent of generation that is renewable, total renewable generation, percent of total domestic renewable generation, [1] and carbon intensity in 2022. [2] The largest renewable electricity source was wind, which has exceeded hydro since 2019. [3]
Renewable energy in Canada represented 17.3% of the Total Energy Supply (TES) in 2020, following natural gas at 39.1% and oil at 32.7% of the TES. [2] [3]In 2020, Canada produced 435 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity from renewable sources, representing 68% of its total electricity generation.
Illinois electricity production by type. Wind power has been supported by a renewable portfolio standard, passed in 2007, and strengthened in 2009, which requires 10% renewable energy from electric companies by 2010 and 25% by 2025. [4] For 2013, in-state renewable generation was just 5.1% of Illinois' total generation. [5]
The United States, though, has very large offshore wind energy resources due to strong, consistent winds off the long U.S. coastline. [56] The 2011 NREL report, Large-Scale Offshore Wind Power in the United States, analyzes the current state of the offshore wind energy industry. According to the report, offshore wind resource development would ...
Renewable electricity generation by source and country in 2023 [1] This is a list of countries and dependencies by electricity generation from renewable sources. [1] Renewables accounted for 30% of electric generation in 2023. Renewables consist of hydro (47%), wind (26%), solar (18%), biomass (8%) and geothermal (1%).
