Wind energy capacity set to double by 2030 – but that’s still not enough
China is overachieving on its own 2030 target, helping the world meet wind power goals.
Global wind energy capacity is set to more than double by 2030 based on current national commitments – but will remain about 600 GW short of what’s necessary to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The calculation, published by think tank Ember Climate, is based on the current wind energy commitments of more than 70 governments worldwide. It represents a 2.4x increase from the 901 GW already installed in 2022.
