Wind energy growth jumped to 117 GW in 2024, with China at its peak
The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) reports that the capacity of the Wind Power Plant (PLTB) installation, which relies on wind energy, has reached a record high with an additional 117 gigawatts by 2024. 1,136 GW, which is spread in various parts of the world.
The country with the largest growth in the installation of PLTB
According to the report, several countries showed significant growth in the installation of PLTB capacity by 2024, including:
China: 79.82 GW
United States: 4.05 GW
Germany: 4.02 GW
India: 3.42 GW
Brazil: 3.2 GW
GWEC CEO’s Call to Increase Renewable Energy Capacity
The CEO of GWEC, Ben Backwell, stressed the importance of decisions from world leaders to increase the capacity of renewable energy by three times by 2030, in accordance with agreed global goals. According to Ben, to achieve this goal, it is necessary to improve policies and infrastructure that support the development of renewable energy.
Global Policy and Investment Challenges
Ben Backwell also warned that uncertainty in energy policies in various markets could be detrimental to investment in the renewable energy sector. He stated, “We note that there is an increasingly uncertain policy environment in various global areas, including attacks on wind energy and renewable resources, which led to the cancellation of a large number of construction projects.” This can significantly damage the investment climate.
In addition, tariff competition between the US and China has also worsened the ambiguity in the field of global investment, which could threaten the smooth international supply which is important for the wind power sector.
The need for global collaboration to ensure the future of wind energy
Ben emphasized that decision makers around the world need to prioritize the strengthening of a consistent and predictable market structure. Multilateral cooperation is needed to ensure smooth and balanced trade in the renewable energy sector. Leaders are also expected to collaborate with investors and business practitioners to accelerate the distribution of environmentally friendly and cost-effective wind energy.
The Role of Wind Power in World Energy Transformation
Deputy Chairperson of GWEC, Girish Tanti, added that wind power will play a key role in global energy transformation, especially to achieve the ambition to increase the capacity of renewable energy three times by 2030. global renewable energy in the last ten years.
“The wind is able to provide high quality electrical energy for users with significant basic power needs and ensure the stability of the electric power system,” said Girish.
