Wind Electricity Generation by Country

Wind electricity generation by country measures the amount of electricity generated from wind power in each country, measured in quadrillion British thermal units (quad Btu) per year. The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. The table covers 84 countries with a reported 2024 value, from 2019 to 2024. The World total stood at 8.57 quad Btu in 2024, up from 7.91 in 2023.

Wind electricity generation measures the electricity produced from wind power, as reported in the EIA dataset.

Methodology

The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. Values refer to wind electricity generation, in quadrillion British thermal units (quad Btu) per year as in the source, and 2024 figures are from the INTL.37-12 series where listed. Where no value is available, the cell is left empty. A value of 0 indicates that the source reports zero. The sum of the individually listed countries may differ slightly from the reported World total because of rounding. This page covers wind electricity generation only and does not include other indicators, which are reported separately in the source.
