Japan's wind energy capacity is predicted to rise steadily from 4.92 thousand megawatts in 2024 to 5.58 thousand megawatts by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3.17% from 2024 to 2028. The projected increase reflects a continuous focus on expanding renewable energy sources post-2023, when the capacity was lower, serving as a foundation for current growth projections.

Future trends to watch for include:

Policy changes that could influence investment in wind energy.
Technological advancements that might enhance wind turbine efficiency.
Integration of wind energy into Japan’s broader energy strategy, impacting overall capacity expansion.
