WIND ENERGY
Enabling profitable growth and investment opportunities in the wind industry
Wind power has been a reliable source of electricity for over a century and today plays a central role in decarbonizing the global energy system. Deployed onshore and offshore, wind — alongside solar PV — is a cornerstone of the renewable energy transition.
Global installations are reaching record levels in 2025, with more than 150 GW of new capacity expected worldwide, driven primarily by China, India, and a rebound in Europe. Europe alone added 19.1 GW, around 90% of which was onshore. Total installed wind capacity is projected to exceed 2 TW by 2030, according to the World Wind Association. Continued cost declines — including a roughly 70% reduction in onshore wind LCOE since 2010 — have strengthened wind’s competitiveness across markets.
Emerging technologies such as floating offshore wind are expanding deployment into deeper waters, while complementary solutions including energy storage, smart grids, and green hydrogen are improving system integration. With sustained policy support and strong economics, wind remains one of the most attractive growth segments in global power markets.

Transaction and strategic expertise across the wind energy value chain
Wind capacity in 2023
Wind industry is commissioning huge volumes of renewable energy. A milestone of 1 TW of installed wind capacity has been reached in 2023. Over 100 GW of onshore wind and over 11 GW of offshore wind capacity was installed in 2023.
Wind capacity by 2030
Under current policies, 2 TW of installed wind capacity is expected to be reached by 2030. Reaching the Net Zero goal by 2050 requires 2.75 – 3.5 TW of cumulative wind capacity to be installed by 2030.
2024 Investment
Investment in wind power generation is expected to reach $200 Billion in 2024.
