Texas added a nation-leading 1,309 megawatts of capacity, a 3% increase, and generated 4% more power from wind than it had in 2022.
Worldwide wind power capacity soared in 2023 as Texas continued as the nation’s leading wind power provider — both by capacity and generation. Around the world, 117 gigawatts of new wind power capacity was installed in 2023, a whopping 50% increase from the year before. That made it the biggest year for new wind projects on record, according to the latest Global Wind Report published Tuesday by the Global Wind Energy Council .
Without wind and solar power, ERCOT CEO says, this summer’s grid story could be much different The increase in wind installations around the world “shows that the world is moving in the right direction in combating climate change,” the council said in its report. But the authors warned that more is needed.
