Top 13 Largest Wind Farms in the World by Capacity

Explore the top 13 largest wind farms in the world by capacity, with key facts, stats, and global clean energy insights.

Wind power

Wind power advocates argue that periods of low wind can be dealt with by simply restarting existing power stations that have been held in readiness, or interlinking with HVDC.

The World''s 10 Largest Wind Farms

Most wind farms are located in areas with wind speeds of at least 10 miles per hour and access to transmission facilities. Areas of high altitude are preferred because of the higher wind

Global Wind Power Tracker

The Global Wind Power Tracker (GWPT) is a worldwide dataset of utility-scale, on and offshore wind facilities. It includes wind farm phases with capacities of 10 megawatts (MW) or more.

In 2024, wind supplied over 2,494 TWh of electricity, which was 8.1% of world electricity. To help meet the Paris Agreement''s goals to limit climate change, analysts say it should expand much faster than it currently is – by over 1% of electricity generation per year. Expansion of wind power is being hindered by fossil fuel subsidies

Wind explained Where wind power is harnessed

Favorable sites include the tops of smooth, rounded hills; open plains and water; and mountain gaps that funnel and intensify wind. Wind speeds are generally higher the greater the
