New onshore wind turbines · 2024, 2025

Coverage and quantity per point

26 of 239 countries and territories with data. Known values for other areas are marked separately in the table; unassigned epicentres are not a country.

Normal map view: 1 Wind turbine / point. In focus: 1 Wind turbine / point. Quantity controls do not change annual values.

What the map shows

The map simulates statistical times from annual data. It does not report individual events actually happening now. Point counters show currently visible simulated points; the timeline records only regular points observed during the session.

Random points within a country are a display model, not actual event locations or regional consumption hotspots. Earthquakes retain their historical USGS epicentres. Start examples are labelled and excluded from counts. Background gaps are not replayed.

Original years, national definitions and recording boundaries differ. Tables are alphabetical and do not provide a reliable country ranking. With mixed source years, the breakdown of death points is a display model, not an exact balance of causes. Point quantities and fade durations do not change annual values.

  Original source · Definitions and metadata

  Gross commissioning in calendar year 2025 including repowering; not permits, net stock change or counts estimated from MW. BWE/Fachagentur Wind und Solar, source dated 15 January 2026: 958 turbines. A separate WindGuard analysis reports 965; these different snapshots are not mixed. One point represents a newly commissioned turbine. Time and location are statistically simulated, not actual construction reports.

  Original source

  Original counts of newly installed onshore turbines in 2024 from Figure 9; adjacent MW values are not used to calculate counts. Installation statistics, not second-by-second construction or site reports. National coverage and reporting snapshots may differ. Ukraine excluded: the report identifies 13 of 17 turbines as used; no undocumented residual count. Germany retains its separately documented newer 2025 value. Netherlands: WindEurope reports 32 turbines; the later RVO account gives 33 from net 7 plus 26 dismantled. One complete source snapshot is used, without addition.

  NEDO / IEA Wind TCP · Retrieved 2026-10-05

  Original source

  Published count of 171 new turbines in 2025. The same report states that no offshore project began commercial operation in 2025. Original year 2025; not a same-year global additions total when combined with European 2024 values.

• Wind turbine register – first grid connections in 2024

  Energistyrelsen · Retrieved 2026-10-05

  Original source

  Original register: unique GSRN, first grid connection in calendar year 2024, site type LAND. 15 actual register units, including small turbines. End-August 2026 snapshot; late reports possible. Decommissioned turbines are covered only within the history retained by the publisher. In this XLSX the actual LAND/HAV value is in column J despite a displaced heading. Selected original rows and checksum are archived.

• Wind energy in Europe 2025 – Figure 9, page 23

  WindEurope · Retrieved 2026-10-05 · February 2026

  Original source

  Original counts of newly installed onshore turbines in 2025 from Figure 9, page 23. Offshore bars and adjacent MW/average capacity values are not used. WindEurope describes gross installations by site/country, including new replacement/repowering turbines; not net stock growth. No conversion from MW. The report includes estimates for undisclosed values. Spain explicitly reports an estimated 276 turbines; these remain labelled as an estimate. Countries, national recording boundaries and original years differ. Countries absent from the chart retain the previously documented source year or remain unknown, never implicitly zero. Ukraine and Switzerland remain unknown because new/used/repowering boundaries do not clearly match. Denmark's national register including small turbines and Germany's separate 2025 source remain unchanged. Statistical simulation times and random map locations; not actual construction events or documented regional building sites.
