Germany leads in wind power gross electricity production in Europe, with a value of 11.01 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2024, marking a 3.09% increase year-on-year. The United Kingdom is second at 6.65 Mtoe, with a 6.32% growth rate, followed by Spain at 5.83 Mtoe, up by 5.9%. France recorded a 7.49% increase to 3.53 Mtoe, while Sweden saw a significant rise of 14.39% to 2.8 Mtoe. Norway and smaller eastern European countries like Ukraine and Moldova exhibited the highest year-on-year growth rates, with 35.05%, 42.51%, and 38.03%, respectively.
Future trends to watch include:
- Continued growth in Scandinavian countries due to favorable wind conditions and government policies.
- Heightened expansion in Eastern Europe, driven by investments and advancements in wind energy technology.
- A focus on offshore wind energy, particularly in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, promising substantial increases in capacity.
- More significant integration of wind power into national grids across Europe to meet renewable energy targets and reduce carbon footprints.
