Global wind industry reaches one terawatt milestone

The wind industry is celebrating the sector passing the landmark figure of one terawatt of global installed capacity. Recently completed wind power projects in China, the USA, Morocco and Europe have pushed the capacity across the 1TW threshold.

 

It has taken more than forty years to reach the 1TW milestone, although with the wind industry continually gaining momentum, the next TW will take less than 7 years to install, according to data from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).
