China alone had over 40% of the world's capacity by 2022. [3] Wind power is used on a commercial basis in more than half of all the countries of the world. [4] Denmark produced 55% of its electricity from wind in 2022, a larger share than any other country. Latvia's wind capacity grew by 75%, the largest percent increase in 2022.
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. Hydroelectric power was the primary source ...
2019. Continuing 2018's growth, Canada finished 2019 with 13,413 MW of wind energy capacity - enough to power approximately 3.4 million homes. The year saw completion of five projects that added 597 MW of new installed capacity, representing over $1 billion of investment. Canada is home to the world's ninth largest wind generating fleet.
China produced 31% of global renewable electricity, followed by the United States (11%), Brazil (6.4%), Canada (5.4%) and India (3.9%). [1] Renewable investment reached almost $500 billion globally in 2022, [2] amounting to 83% of new electric capacity that year. [3] The renewable energy industry employs almost 14 million people.
Wind power in Wisconsin started in 1990 with the installation of the Lincoln Turbines wind farm, and contributes to the state's renewable portfolio standard established in 1998. [1] In 2016, Wisconsin had a wind generating capacity of 648 megawatts (MW), [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] responsible for generating 2.4% of its electricity. [ 4 ]
Largest wind farms. The 363.5 MW Seigneurie de Beaupré Wind Farms in Quebec has been the largest wind farm by installed capacity in Canada since it was last expanded in October 2015 from 340 MW to 363.5 MW. The previous record-holder was the 350 MW Rivière-du-Moulin Wind Project in Quebec from its opening in December 2014 to September 2015.
Wind energy penetration is the fraction of energy produced by wind compared with the total generation. Wind power's share of worldwide electricity usage in 2021 was almost 7%, [ 55 ] up from 3.5% in 2015.
