Wind energy in Europe: 2022 statistics and the outlook
By admin | |
The EU installed 16 GW of new wind capacity in 2022, but should be building over 30 GW a year to meet its own 2030 targets. It is expected to install 98 GW by 2027. 75% of that will be onshore, while the UK is leading in offshore wind installations. Wind energy generation in Europe has increased from 370 TWh in 2018 to 489 TWh in 2022.
