Europe Wind Power Capacity Expansion to 441 GW by 2030

planned

Europe is expected to add 178 GW of new wind energy capacity by 2030, bringing total installed capacity to 441 GW. Onshore wind will account for 361 GW and offshore wind will reach 80 GW by 2030. The EU-27 member states will contribute 133 GW of the additions, with total wind capacity forecasted to hit 344 GW within the EU-27. Despite significant investments, progress is slowed by permitting delays, grid expansion issues, and supply chain bottlenecks.
