Image: WindEurope Wind energy powered 20% of all electricity consumed in Europe (19% in the EU) in 2024, and the EU has set a goal to grow this share to 34% by 2030 and more than 50% by 2050. To stay on track, the EU needs to install 30 GW of new wind farms annually, but it only managed 13 GW in 2024 11.4 GW onshore and 1.4 GW offshore. This is whats holding the EU back from achieving its wind growth goals.
