Countries that generated at least 10 TWh of electricity in 2025 and have published 2025, 82 in this data, with at least 100 GWh of wind in some year. Each is compared with its own 2020 and 2015 values; a blank means Ember has no figure for that year. Peak is the highest annual wind generation in the country's series.
