Germany leads onshore wind power electricity production in Europe with 60.33 thousand megawatts, followed by Spain at 30.41 thousand megawatts and France at 21.17 thousand megawatts. The United Kingdom and Sweden also have significant capacities at 17.24 and 15.95 thousand megawatts, respectively. Key markets like the Netherlands and Norway exhibited significant year-on-year growth rates of 16.94% and 32.83%, indicating robust expansion. Countries such as Greece and Finland also showed notable increases of 14.88% and 17.97%, respectively. Conversely, Hungary experienced a slight decline of -0.24%.
Future trends to watch in European onshore wind power include the rapid expansion in emerging markets such as Ukraine, with a year-on-year growth of 33.14%, and Bosnia and Herzegovina at 26.77%. Stable markets like Germany and Spain are expected to continue moderate growth. Upsurges in Norway and the Netherlands suggest these countries will play increasingly significant roles in Europe’s wind power landscape in the coming years.
