GWEC: Key Findings Global Wind ReportExciting news from GWEC today,
We’re delighted to announce that GWEC’s Global Wind Report 2024 is now available to download!
The definitive analysis of the wind industry, the Global Wind Report is the only report covering the status of the market, while also delivering a policy deep-dive with in-depth insight from GWEC's team of industry experts. We’re thrilled to share it with you.
The global wind industry installed a record 117GW of new capacity in 2023, making it the best year ever for new wind energy. Despite a turbulent political and macroeconomic environment, the report finds that the wind industry is entering a new era of accelerated growth driven by increased political ambition, manifested in the historic COP28 adoption of a target to triple renewable energy by 2030.
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 10%, in response to the establishment of national industrial policies in major economies, gathering momentum in offshore wind and promising growth among emerging markets and developing economies
The report also explores the hurdles facing the sector - from reforming planning, streamlining finance, building out grids and transforming markets so they work to accelerate the energy transition. GWEC’s team of experts have taken a deep-dive into all these topics in our biggest report ever.
Your sincerely,
The GWEC team
