Show notes

2025 marked a historic milestone: For the first time, the world added 169 GW of new wind capacity in a single year – bringing wind power’s share of global electricity generation to over 11%. While China leads this expansion, dynamic growth is visible worldwide, with countries like Vietnam, Chile, and Turkey emerging as front-runners in wind energy adoption. In this episode, WWEA President Dr. Irfan Mirza and Secretary General Stefan Gsänger discuss: * The current global status of wind power and its market momentum. * Key challenges – from policy frameworks to grid integration – and how to overcome them. * The critical role of community engagement and strong political support in accelerating deployment. With the right conditions, wind power – alongside other renewables – can dominate global energy supply, paving the way for a climate-friendly, peaceful, and prosperous future. To achieve this, the world must and can reach 10 million MW of installed wind capacity by 2050, enabling wind to supply up to 40% of global electricity demand.
