Global Wind Report 2021

The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) has released the Global Wind Report, 2021.

About Global Wind Report:

The Global Wind Report highlights the role of wind power on the road to net zero emissions.

Key Findings of the report:

The world’s capacity to generate electricity from wind jumped 53% in 2020.
A total of 93 gigawatts (GW) capacity was installed in the year.
- However, this is not sufficient for the world to reach a ‘net zero’ emission status by 2050.
- The world needs to install a minimum of 180 GW of new wind energy capacity every year.
At present, the world has a total wind energy capacity of 743 GW.
This has helped avoid an annual CO2 emission of over 1.1 billion tonnes which is equivalent to the volume of carbon South America emits in a year.
China and the United States accounted for 75% of the new installations and over half the world’s wind power capacity.

India’s Wind Power Capacity:

India’s total installed wind power capacity was 38GW (Feb-2021), the 4th largest installed wind power capacity in the world.

About Global Wind Energy Council(GWEC):

The Global Wind Energy Council (GEWC) was established in 2005 to provide a credible and representative forum for the entire wind energy sector at an international level.
Its mission is to ensure that wind power is established as one of the world’s leading energy sources, providing substantial environmental and economic benefits.
Headquarters: Brussels,Belgium.
