The historical data from 2013 to 2023 reveals a positive but fluctuating growth trajectory in Japan's wind energy generation. In 2023, wind energy generation stood at 8.47 Terawatthours. Year-on-year variations have shown significant growth spurts—most notably in 2020 with a 15.85% increase—and some minor declines, such as the -0.93% dip in 2022. Overall, the five-year CAGR from 2018 to 2023 was 5.63%.
Future trends indicate a moderate but sustained increase in wind energy generation, with forecasts suggesting a five-year CAGR of 2.38% from 2024 to 2028. While growth is expected to continue, it will likely be at a slower pace compared to previous years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements in wind turbine efficiency.
- Government policies and incentives promoting renewable energy.
- Increasing public and private investments in wind energy infrastructure.
- Potential impacts of climate change on wind patterns and reliability.
