Top Countries to Generate Electricity from Wind
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- World wind electricity generation has also increased substantially in recent years. In 1990, 16 countries generated about 3.6 billion kWh of wind electricity. In 2010, 100 countries generated about 339 billion kWh, and in 2022, 127 countries (includes Puerto Rico) generated about 2,904 billion kWh of wind electricity.
Hats off to Denmark for trying something new before anyone else
Generating electricity from wind turbines goes back another ten years in Denmark at least, but would probably have made the video a bit more boring to watch.
They are a power hub nowadays. As a gateway between the Nordic hydro electric and the southern wind and solar powers. With connections to UK, NL, NO, SW and GER.
"New"? Renewable energies (wind, solar, hydro) were invented in the late 19th century. It's just that nobody gave a fuck about environmental damage for a hundred years...
They could only do so because they could rely on Swedish and German production. By itself Denmark would collapse at once.
@@SweBeach2023 Denmark on its own built up the entire wind turbine industry, from the mid 70s and forward. No other country was interested in wind energy at that time, which the graphs also shows.
Some of the very big players were and are Danish companies or built from Danish companies.
Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, GE etc.
So just like with solar power, Germany was an early pionier and then conservative politics killed our headstart.
Still better then the dutch, we slowed it down - in particular solar. And Germany will for ever be the one that ignited the solar revolution on massive scale. It doesnt matter wich nations overtook it.
or maybe... just maybe... the USA and China have way more empty space to build all that.
or do you want 3 windmills in your garden?
no?
there is a time when space is just used up
@@Xingmey I mean the dip around 2014 and we have plenty space in the Northern sea with a lot of steady wind.
A lot of turbines also slow down heavy storms on the lower levels and reduces storm flood impacts
In the same way they fucked up the train transport and slowed down the modernization in many areas of our country considerably. They ignored all of these problems, until they came blowing up right in our faces.
Thanks to the slow bureaucracy changement is also just happening all to slowly....
I wished a new and considerably younger political party could have some say in the government, because we need some new wind in this country.
@no-damn-alias I think you forgot that this electricity from solar and wind was heavily subsidised with a lot of taxpayer money ... the business model for investors was the generous subsidies ... when that was gone, so were the investors
Jedes Mal, wenn ich die Altmaier-Delle visuell vor Augen geführt bekomme, könnte ich kotzen.
ja es ist unglaublich wie oft in den Regierungen von unserer ehemaligen besorgten Umweltministerin (Merkel) irgend eine Politik auf den Tisch kam die für Erneuerbare scheiße war. Altmaierdelle ist da natürlich ein besonderes Ding. Warum verflucht versuchen wir immer wieder auf krampft Weltmarktführer im Automobilbereich zu werden, wir könnten ja auch Weltmarktführer bei Erneuerbaren werden. Da ließe sich gesamtvolkswirtschaftlich auch locker die gesamte Bevölkerung durchfüttern.
Äh... bei Windenergie, um die es hier ja geht, ist es der "Gabriel-Knick". Beides dicke Männer, aber unterschiedliche Parteien. 😉
@@totwiedisco Also Altmaier hat den Ausbau der Windkraft zu Land faktisch zum Erliegen gebracht.
@@michaelmueller9635 Mh, der Algorithmus schluckt wie immer Verlinkungen (warum Diskussionen auch versachlichen, danke Social Media). Egal: Google doch einfach mal "altmaier knick windkraft" und nimm den ersten Treffer: Dort steht es anders.
@@michaelmueller9635 Meine Quelle - die ich hier dank Algo leider nicht verlinkt bekomme - sagt was anderes.
Would have been more interesting as a proportion of the countries demand. Some small countries have a huge proportion of their electricity demand provided bu wind but their size means they dont get to the top.
The "absolute" TW isn't as interesting as the %age of total consumption. I think, too
@@MskvaerWould have been quite boring to see Denmark as #1 from start to finish, currently at 50%.
The US could have WAY WAY more wind power, it has ten huge states that are barely populated and that have average windspeeds over 20mph. Hell, wind power from Wyoming alone could power the whole country. Wyoming uses metal chains as wind socks 😂
The wind power industry doesn't pay the political kickbacks the military manufacturing complex does.
@@ExternalInputs Not to mention the Oil and Gas Industry.
This is the thing people need to understand about renewable energy: there's actually far more of it available than fossil energy once you have the infrastructure to capture it. All of the fossil fuels in the crust are only equal to about 3 years of solar radiation that makes it to earth's surface. There is an era of abundance ahead if we're only smart enough to try to realize it.
Sad to see Denmark falling of the top 15 chart after being the pioneer in energy from Wind. Considering the population of just under 6 mio people total. If we were to compare by pop I believe Denmark would still be quite high on the list.
In a way it's a good thing that small countries are at the bottom, even though they were once pioneers, because it shows that everyone else is catching up.
Denmark is so small geographically making it near impossible to stay at the chart as other countries ramp up their production
DK is stil a pioneer in renewable energy - you're just focusing on the wrong number. In 2023 63% of Denmarks electricity consumption was covered by solar and wind power. I believe this is the highest percentage of any country in the world - world average is around 14% of power produced by solar/wind. Higher percentages are difficult to achieve because consumption and production has to balance minute by minute, and wind / solar produce whatever the sun and wind allows for. Also, Denmark has a relatively low electricity consumption per capita compared to other developed countries and a small population.
Denmark is still #1 in terms of its 50% of all electricity coming from wind. The Danish company Vestas has about a 20% world market share. And Siemens Gamesa started as a Danish company which now holds about another 10%. I'd say Denmark is still the technology leader and a major exporter.
Denmark have completely fulfilled the demands of their population with wind, any new wind projects near Denmark would only be to export wind. And considering the currently low energy prices, its sometimes challenging to promote wind parks unless you can show high revenue from ancillary services.
For anyone having doubts, China is the shining city on the hill, they are the example to follow.
they bild a lot of windmills and solars pannels but China is also the country with the most new coal energy stations, they need a lot of energie sources
@@Schurkie505 I know, that's why i say it. The country that consumes the most energy is the country that advances the most.
@@Schurkie505 Also China is also largest solar panel exporter, I think more than 3/4 solar panels are produced in China. Half of its production is used inside China, half is exported so other counties can install their Solar farm. China is not as dominate in Wind turbine but is also the largest wind turbine exporter in the world.

the TWh per million captiva would have more significance, i.e. Germany 2 TWh per million captiva; USA 1,3; China 0,6
And Denmark was above 3 TWh per million in 2020 and then they dropped out of this chart,
@@ReneSkotte yes, Denmark is leading in environmental consciousness..totally unnoticed
@@jordizaragosa2154 Yeah, it is exciting just 5.9 million people completely fix the environment.
Capita
@@jordizaragosa2154 What is "environmental consciousness"? While they are improving, they're still rely heavily in fossil fuels, and trade with neighboring countries to deal with the huge differences between generation and demand within Denmark. At the very time of this writing, over 20% of their own power generation comes from fossil fuels, and they also import a lot of power, an early summer afternoon, when the demand is exceptionally low.
Interesting to see how the different left/right governments (in case of China: sheer political will) clearly reflect in the changes in speed of growth.
Thing about the CCP good idea or bad, they go whole hog.
The declining TWh generated from coal, oil and natural gas would be equally interresting.
I fear due to China and India Coal isn't really declining.
Very bold of you to presume that there would be a decline
@@Junakase Yeah... Coal went up, Gas went up (big time) - Oil went down, but it wasn't that huge to begin with so doesn't even make a dent on the fossil fuel graph going up, Gas alone went up 5 times compared to 1985... And all the renewable COMBINED is just about as much as COAL... and then you still have natural gas...
Yeah... well lets hope that soon the trend turns around, I mean the way China went from barely nothing to beating the next 5 combined... is good.
The massive disappointment on this list is India... such a huge country... and it is being outpaced by the UK even when the conservatives nearly banned new wind farms ... astonishing how the Indian government and industry still lagging behind the world... well.. except scam callcenters... because in that they are unbeatable... and thats saying something when we know China and Russia is also a massive player on the field :)
@@mityaboy4639 Unfortunately, that is the current situation. Only relatively few countries are actually reducing their use of fossil fuels, and most of them are already doing it too slowly to prevent major damage in the future. Most countries are still increasing their use of fossils, especially developing countries with some of the largest and still growing populations in the world. And despite their efforts to use renewables, China is also amongst those countries, continuously increasing their use of fossil fuels. So it'll probably keep going up for quite a while still.
The only reason oil went down now is that it went up after Russia invaded Ukraine, and oil is by far the most expensive way to produce electrical power, basically only used in emergencies when you need power and have nothing else available. And if you look at the use of oil outside of power production, you'll get a very different picture again.
That said, coal will probably be the first one to go down eventually, even if much too late. But it will partly be replaced by gas. So that's going to keep going up and take much longer to go down, same as with oil outside of energy production.
@@mityaboy4639 India's currency might have a bearing on it, the Rupee has a very low value compared to other top countries, maybe can't afford the infrastructure costs.
Just remember the difference in pop.
And silly me, I thought Germany was somewhere in the middle.And compared to the usual suspects USA, China, Germany is doing pretty well (despite Bavaria!).
The pro-nuclear lobby has spread a truckload of misinformation about Germany to discredit its nuclear exit.
兄弟，不需要比较。中国的国土很大。德国的绿色能源已经很令人吃惊了。也不必要悔恨给予中国技术，中国政府做的事情是为世界减少了更多碳排放。人类感谢德国，也感谢中国政府执行的如此的好。
"but...but.. china isnt doing anything why should we save the climate?"
Wind, solar, water, nuclear, whatever source it is all the same result.
Impressive and revealing.
Probably present the same regarding photovoltaics? Might be interresting as well.
It's already on the channel: 8 days old.
It basically was the same result. Europe started with an early lead, the US overtook them by a country mile, then China came and overtook everyone by far more, with no end in sight, except maybe India beginning to appear on the boards.
That criticism in Germany for abandoning nuclear energy … this explains how and why, i think, they don’t need it anymore … and makes the criticism even more weird. Why is the rest of Europe not going for the big transition?
arent they still making a significant part of their energy out of coal? wind and solar energy cannot replace all of this because its just too unstable and energy storage technology isnt developed enough yet. i just dont see why shutting down nuclear power plants before coal ones is preferable
also i think i saw a chart somewhere that said that nuclear energy is the cheapest to produce out of all types which translates to lower house energy bill
@@awocrfit's actually the opposite. Nuclear power is very expensive when compared to renewables. But as you rightly noted, nuclear can be used for base load compensation, while renewables like wind and solar cannot. That's why Germany still used coal and gas.
@@awocrf nope - in deed solar- and wind-energy is way cheaper. Esp if you factor in the costs of storing the nuclear-waste safely.
In deed Germany comes to the point, where their energy-prices are dropping now, as more and more of their energy is really cheap (the energy-price is calculated in a special way - so it is not the median of all sources).
The challenge still is storing the energy from solar and wind - as you also need energy at night etc.
@cms8989 @ThorDyrden Oh, ok. Do you know how does nuclear energy cost compare to coal?
Denmark is a relatively small country. But I'm still surprised to see them fall out of the top 15 here. They are building massive wind parks in the North Sea to export quite a lot of wind power to their neighbours.
Take in account the area of each country to calculate the density of wind turbines.
Danke an Jürgen Trittin, den of so gehassten Pragmatiker
Und keinen Dank an die groko
Mei, wie bei den AFD Politikern machen Ihn die Extreme als Politiker untragbar.
Wie Kinder auf die Bühne zu stellen und dann vorsagen zu lassen ,,Liebe mit Papa ist ja gar nicht so schlimm" und so Späße. Als Familienvater hört da bei mir der Spaß auf.
Genauso bei der AfD überall Hass zu säen .
Die haben ebenfalls mit vielem was die sagen Recht, aber auch da wird einfach ein kritischer Punkt überschritten.
Niemand mehr ist heutzutage zu faktenbasierter Politik fähig.
@@user-kd2ij7te5v Altmaier Knick sagt Hallo.
It would be more interesting to see the number per Capita, or per land area
Can you link the source of the data you used?
China: hold my FENG shui
The speed and scale with which China can move is impressive. 20 years ago they were behind Denmark, Uk, Italy Holland for wind Power. Now they are bigger than the rest of the world put together and that is only 20 years. What will they do in the next 20 in Renewables ?
Chinas entire power infrastructure in extremely flawed in the way it is setup. They have severe problems of actually getting the power where its needed with massive overproduction on one side and power outages on the other. So there are underlying problems to fix before they can use and distribute the power efficiently. First step would be actually linking their regions together. Power produced in one region cant be used in a neighbouring one.
I wouldn't say thats impressive, i mean they are 1Billion People with more than enough space. Break it down to people, and they will fall back quite a bit in the Ranking.
China is not bigger than the rest of the world. And the thing that is impressive is how much they have manage to STEAL of technology.
So you ask, what will they do the next 20 years? - That depends on other countries as the chinese will steal most of it!
Anything is possible in a fascist dictatorship.
China is more likely to fall apart in the next 20 years rather than make any interesting strides in renewable
china and the US will top rankings like this without a doubt. they're both huge countries with a lot of usable land for wind and solar energy.
More important is what percent of total power is wind generated
Compare by wind power per pop please.
The mining part is lacking in the drawing IMHO, as well as the fossil generated (gaz being widely used) to keep the grid running when wind gets low.
Last, is it really power *generated* (as per the graph title) or *capacity* ?
So no totalizer but rather "power generation in that respective year?"
Otherwise, decreasing numbers would make no sense
It’s puzzling, right? Windmills do break though and if they are not replaced power decreases. That’s what we had in Germany for some time. Could also be an artifact of the software?
AFAICS, its energy yield per year (not total energy yield over the complete history as the labels in the video suggest)
@@TheDigger76 I think the variation in Germany is more due to years with more wind and years with less wind. Wind turbines do break sometimes, but it's not nearly often enough to affect power production at that scale.
Yeah. Having a total number decrease makes no sense at all. That's impossible.
Also the statements above are false.
If I earn 100k every year, I have earned 500k after 5 years. No matter how much I've spent during that time.
And if it's the total power for each year, the displayed animation makes no sense or doesn't show exactly what's going on AND the headline should tell, the numbers are annual, not the sum for each country.
If you look at a map showing world distribution of offshore wind energy potential, you'd have to wonder why UK isn't rioting in the streets to do more. We've been doing comparatively ok for our headcount. Wind is hard to store. We should synthesise replacement petrochemicals ('retrochemicals') with our excess wind energy to fix VRE intermittency, provide NetZero continuity, and for export.
I've heard that UK is a comparatively harsh environment in Europe (Apparently, rain drops impacting turbine blades are the main cause of turbine blade erosion and UK has lots of that). Of course, nothing unsolvable there, but combined with the fact that UK hasn't been a big market there might have been a lack of "UK-ready" wind turbine designs and a bit of time lag until such variants became or become available from manufacturers. The Sunak governement had big plants for wind energy in UK (don't know about the current one), so big wind power growth in UK might be a fairly realistic hope...
@@SASAS-ru8ys I hadn't heard rain blamed before - seems plausible. We're at a funny point with wind turbine installs. It's costing us money to turn off ('curtail') wind in good winds already. What we need is a cunning plan for bottling the wind when there's 'too much'. Royal Society says giant hydrogen stores.
Do you have the hydropower comparison?
I was hoping to see the UK in the top three seeing as we have the two largest offshore windfarms on the planet, I guess having 100 giant farms is better than two enormous farms. 🤣
看看中国新疆的风力发电场吧，几百公里
Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands are ranking on top, compared installed power for every inhabitants.
Diese Musik versetzt einen direkt in ein Aufbauspiel und das trifft es auf den Punkt!
Wind power, cell phones, solar power, electric cars, when China masters the technology, the world will be able to use it at much cheaper prices. Because China always keeps these prices very low
Super nice!! The data normalised to the people would be great
Fascinating. What data sources is this based on?
Would have been interesting with a graf showing for instans number of Twa per million inhabitants. Or?🤔
Now we need to learn how to store the energy on a long term and to be able to call up the energy at any time at will and we would make a giant leap forward.
Well without the hunger for power and the avarice of the rich and powerful of course.
Are the number the installed or the actual yield? some turbines are only producing 12% of their maximum. and the percent of total would be nice to know.
The graphic shows the total energy generated from wind, rather than the total power. Energy (TWh) = Power (TW) x Time (h), where TW = terawatts and h = hours.
This was interesting
However an even more interesting comparison would be
How much is generated from fossil fuel, preferably “per capita”.
Is there such a comparison?
back then germany was so good at wind energy, then Merkel came and destroyed everything. 😢
How?
@@heliotropezzz333 she and her party (CDU [the conservative party]) were supported by the big coal groups like RWE and so she made politics for them and not for wind energy.
Very interesting. It's a shame that you've labelled it 'Power' when the data show energy in TWh!
The Altamont Pass windfarm in California (USA)was producing electricity before 1986 when this chart begins, but the US is not on the chart. 🤔 until later (?)
Was it producing electricity for the grid or for industry?
Poland made it to top 15 at the last turn yey! I'm sure the same will be with solar power with the data from 2024.
For everyone asking per capita chart, I thought India was your ally.
China:What is wind power?
………
China:I got it.
What % of the total power generated by each country?
Name of music?
Schade, dass die Auswertung wieder 01.01.2023 endet...
BUENA RESPUESTA AL "CALENTAMIENTO GLOBAL".
It cut be interesting to se the same but vind power ranked by % of the grid....
fx Comparing USA and Denmark 1:1 sims a little strange considering landmass and population.... Denmark is smaller than most US states
Wouldn‘t it be total energy produced instead of power?
You can't produce energy. Energy can only be converted.
TWh is energy; 1TWh=3.6 x10E15 joules
@@diamonddave2622 but in the video it says power. See the heading!
@@McMicGera Sorry, misinterpreted your comment. Yes the title is wrong.
I think it's wind energy yield per year (the captions in the video suggest it's cumulative wind energy yield over the whole history of production)
Interesting 👍
dyanm choyna!!!
I would like to see it as percentage of total use electorale power. This in itself does not say much.
Sort of rediculous that germany has so much more than the UK, when you compare how much more wind potential the UK has than Germany, just because of geography 😅
Should be total energy generated, not power.
How can total power generated decrease?? Idea is nice, but data requires some double checking
the video caption is incorrect. It's power production per year, not total power production (over all years) as the caption suggests.
起了个大早 赶了个晚集 我是说在坐的
for a real while the US was both ahead on solar and wind. what went wrong?
Republicans
Good video, bytthe speed is a bit slow. Could easily have the chart moving 2x speed. Also, would be good to have a global total at the bottom.
If the stats are about _total_ -power- ENERGY generated,, how is it possible that some numbers go down? generated power doesn't get magically ungenerated! (eg In 1995 China goes from total energy of 0.57 to 0.11)
Plugging off from grid temporarily. Because they have to reconstruct the grid for the peaks of heavy winds.
Thats Energy generated per year ... you have to rebuild windturbines every aprox. 20 years, if u don't E/y goes down.
the heading is missleading/wrong. From the numbers it seems to be TWh per year - and not cumulated over the years.
Is this music dead can dance?

As a lifelong Labour supporter l congratulate the Tories on their record in this matter. What l do not understand is why they stopped talking about it. Given how terrible they were at everything else, this is a solid achievement
Do one per capita now
Has China's data been externally verified? They are sometimes a bit creative with their information.
I was thinking the same. I have learnt to take data from china cautiously
The same care when looking at data should be taken for European countries and the USA. Why is only China always discredited? It is a country with a gigantic population and territories, in addition to the largest industry in the world. It is not surprising that the Chinese are the largest energy producers.
It must feel awful to see past losers outdoing themselves. So one must find excuses to question to cover up their failures
我是中国人，我的居住地山顶都是风力发电机
Come to china check it urself, may impress u even more
I lived in Germany for 25 years and traveled 200 mile each way each weekend. In that journey there were several (More Than 10) wind farms in 25 years I think I saw some turning twice
Then you should have opened your eyes maybe. Greetings from someone who has lived in Germany for 48 years and can not confirm your claim.
Per capita numbers would be far more illuminating, of course countries like us and China are at the top, they are bigger countries...
I’d rather just have the graph of the 2023 data than the boring rest of it…
Can you make this as fraction of per capita electricity consumption? Now you're comparing countries with 10 million to 1 billion (or more) and 325 million in between.
In the video, you use the headline "total power from wind" (and leave the word electricity out). Well, in my country, centuries ago, complete lakes got pumped dry by windmills to claim land (or get rid of NW European swamp fever - not as bad as but compare malaria).
And once dry, the windmills got used to manage water table levels in the soil and canals.
Another idea is to look at what the energy is used for. I believe in my country, most wind-electrical energy goes into the data centers for large global players that have a foothold here. Your mobile (smart) phone may do with 1 Watt while a server in a data center or the powerful workstation on your desk at 700W don't do 700 times more.
I guess.
This efficiency analysis could be framed w.r.t. the ultimate source of the energy: fossil, sun (sea, wind, etc.), or nuclear.
Pointless comparison! Should be TWh per capita
Obviously, when calculated per capita, it would not be measured in TWh but a much lower number.
Having the worlds second largest population over 1 billion people helps.
More dependend on space than on population…
@@McMicGera population gives you the monetary resources as-well as the need to find a cheaper option. The benefits of scale helps when you produce a large number of anything for reducing unit costs.

Meaningless unless adjusted by population
Not at all meaningless when MIGHT is concern. You will be flattened.
Totally useless unless done as a % of power used
