We tell you about how wind farms work, the different types there currently are, and their main advantages.
View Details
Annual electricity generation from wind is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh) per year. This includes both onshore and offshore wind sources.

Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind''s kinetic energy. Wind flows over the blades creating lift (similar to the effect on airplane wings), which causes the blades to turn.
View Details
Today, wind power is generated almost completely using wind turbines, generally grouped into wind farms and connected to the electrical grid. In 2024, wind supplied about 2,500 TWh of electricity,
