Wind turbine orders and supply chain investments are up – but urgent action is required on grids, permitting and auction design
In the first half (H1) of 2024 Europe added 6.4 GW of new wind energy capacity: 5.3 GW onshore and 1.1 GW offshore.
We now expect the EU to build 15 GW of new wind farms this year, compared to 16 GW in 2023.

Six measures for more onshore wind in Germany
Wind was 27% of Germany’s electricity consumption last year. And renewables in total were over 50%. With 63 GW of onshore and offshore wind farms, Germany has the biggest wind energy capacity in Europe. And Germany should remain the leader in the expansion of onshore wind over the period 2021-25, according to WindEurope’s latest forecasts. But this will only happen if they get their policies right.
