Loading... The 2025 Global Wind Report reveals record growth in wind energy, with 117 GW of new capacity installed in 2024. While highlighting challenges like policy instability and market fragmentation, the report forecasts significant expansion, with 981 GW of new capacity expected by 2030.
The world's wind power sector recorded strong growth in the first half of 2025, with global installations rising by 64% compared to the same period of 2024.u2028A total of 72,2 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity were added between January and June 2025, following 44,1 GW installed in the first half of the previous year.
At the start of the year, we identified the need for continued investment in onshore and offshore wind, which have long driven renewable energy growth. In 2024, global wind capacity additions reached around 125 GW, and this momentum is expected to continue into 2025.
U.S. Wind Power 2025 drives record capacity additions, with FERC data showing robust renewable energy growth, IRA incentives, onshore and offshore projects, utility-scale generation, grid integration, and manufacturing investment boosting clean electricity across key states.
In this blog, we explore key findings from the report alongside our 2025 market predictions to offer a forward-looking view of the wind energy sector, where it stands today and what''s next.
