GWEC Global Wind Report 2024

Summary:

  • The global wind industry installed a record 117GW of new capacity in 2023, driven by increased political ambition for renewable energy.
  • The wind industry is expected to triple its annual growth to at least 320GW by 2030 to meet COP28 targets.
  • The Global Wind Report provides a roadmap for achieving this growth through collaboration across key areas like investment and infrastructure.
  • 13 countries are highlighted as key markets to watch for wind energy growth, including India, Brazil, and the United States.

Looking forward, the report makes it clear that there is plenty to do to deliver on the increased ambition. The wind industry must roughly triple its annual growth from a level of 117 GW in 2023 to at least 320 GW by 2030 to meet the COP28 targets, and steer us back on to the 1.5 degree pathway.
