As you can see China tops the poll, with an installed capacity of 221GW, they are the world leader with over a third of the world’s capacity. It is home to the largest onshore wind farm with a capacity of 7,965MW, which is five times larger than its nearest rival.
The way we power the world is changing. Alternative, more sustainable forms of energy are becoming easier to produce, which means they are becoming more widespread. In fact, researchers estimate that wind farms have the potential to produce up to 40 times the electricity the world consumers.
It will be exciting to see who ranks in the top ten this time next year. Will the order change? With all the upcoming onshore and offshore wind farms in construction, we think so!
