5 Countries That Produce the Most Wind Energy

#4 India

2021 Megawatts of Installed Wind Turbine Capacity: 40,067

India ranks #4 on our list of 15 Countries That Produce the Most Wind Energy given its installed wind turbine capacity of over 40 GW. Given its growing economy, demand for electricity in India has grown substantially in the last decade with wind turbines helping to meet some of the growth.

In 2020, wind accounted for 4% of India’s electricity generation according to the International Renewable Energy Agency and the renewable energy source is expected to potentially account for a bigger percentage of electricity generation mix in the future considering estimates from the Global Wind Energy Council that projects wind energy to be potentially as much as 40% below conventional sources of power in some places of the country. According to the Council’s estimates, India could install over 19 GW of wind over the next 5 years.
