Latvia's wind capacity grew by 75%, the largest percent increase in 2022. [3] In November 2018, wind power generation in Scotland was higher than the country's electricity consumption during the month. [5] Wind power's share of worldwide electricity usage in 2023 was 7.8%, up from 7.3% from the prior year.
The LCOE of floating wind power increases with the distance from shore. [36] The Lieberose Photovoltaic Park – one of the largest in Germany – had a nameplate capacity at opening of 52.79 megawatt and cost some €160 million to build [37] [38] or €3031 per kW.

Vestas V47-660kW wind turbine at American Wind Power Center in Lubbock, Texas A wind turbine blade on I-35 near Elm Mott, an increasingly common sight in Texas. Wind power has a long history in Texas. West Texas A&M University began wind energy research in 1970 and led to the formation of the Alternative Energy Institute (AEI) in 1977.
Wind power is considered a sustainable, renewable energy source, and has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. Wind power is variable, so it needs energy storage or other dispatchable generation energy sources to attain a reliable supply of electricity. Land-based (onshore) wind farms have a greater visual ...
In 2022, wind power supplied around 35.6% of Australia's renewable electricity and around 12.8% of Australia's total electricity. [3] Eight new wind farms were commissioned in 2022 with a combined capacity of 1,410 MW, bringing the total installed capacity to more than 10.5 GW.
