Wind and Solar Top 10% of Global Power Generation for First Time

Every year since 2017, wind and solar have accounted for the majority of new power-generating capacity added to global grids. In 2021, they hit a record three-quarters of the 364 gigawatts of new capacity built. Including hydro, nuclear and others, zero-carbon power accounted for 85% of all new capacity added.

Wind Power by Country 2023

Wind power refers to the electricity generated by turbines powered by the wind, usually in the form of windmills. Wind power is considered to be a clean and renewable source of energy, as it is created by natural elements, unlike oil which requires the burning of fossil fuels.
