Denmark, largest wind share in electricity
2022 CE • Denmark
"Wind energy is one of the most widely used renewable energy sources in Denmark. In 2022, the wind energy production surpassed 19 terawatt-hours. This increased production results from continuous improvement in wind power technology, which has led to a significant reduction in the cost of this technology. Today, more than half of Denmark's electricity production comes from wind farms. The number of active wind turbines is increasing yearly and reached a value of 6,296 installations at the beginning of 2022, achieving a production capacity of approximately seven gigawatts."
