Globally, 77.6 GW of new wind power capacity was connected to power grids in 2022, bringing total installed wind capacity to 906 GW1, a growth of 9% compared with 2021.
The world’s top five markets for new installations in 2022 were:
China
USA
Brazil
Germany
Sweden
Altogether, they made up 71% of global installations last year, collectively 3.7% lower than 2021. This was primarily due to the world’s two largest markets, China
and the US, losing a combined 5% market share compared with the previous year – the second consecutive year that both countries have lost market share.
