Countries Installing the Most Wind Power (2005–2026) 🔋

China has been leading by a huge margin, but the growth of the United States and India in wind power is impressive too.

It’s interesting to see how China, India, and Brazil are expanding wind power and becoming increasingly important in renewable energy.

Germany, Spain, and Denmark have been strong players in wind energy for years, and their early investments really paid off.

BRICS !

Wind capacity is a two-giant race. China reached about 640.6 GW in 2025 (Ember estimate), roughly four times the US at 158.8 GW. Germany is No. 3 at 77.8 GW and India No. 4 at 54.5 GW, up from 48.2 GW in 2024. Source: Ember.
