3.7% of global renewable energy is produced from wind (2015).
The capacity of wind power generation worldwide reached 432.42 gigawatts (GW) at the end of 2015, up 17 percent from a year earlier and surpassing nuclear energy for the first time, according to data released by global industry bodies.
Wind power is not generated by countries, it is a global phenomena.
solar power comes from the sun and is generated from solar pannals. wind power comes from the wind and is generated from wind mills.
Wind power is generated by the force of wind turning turbine blades. As the blades rotate, they drive a generator to produce electricity. The electricity is then fed into a power grid for distribution.
Hydroelectricity (generated from water), geothermal electricity (generated from the landmass), solar thermal power (generated from the sun) and wind power. (generated from wind)
It is very difficult to give a figure. The cost of wind generated power decreases with hours of wind. Within certain limits. Typically wind power is inefficient because of the intermittent winds. Overall wind power is expensive.
China has the most electrical power generated by wind globally. China has been investing heavily in wind energy development and has the largest installed wind power capacity in the world.
The amount of power generated by a wind turbine depends on its size and the wind conditions at the location. A typical onshore wind turbine with a capacity of 2-3 megawatts can generate enough electricity to power around 1,000-1,500 average homes annually. Offshore wind turbines are larger and can generate even more power.
The wind is collected in gigantic windmills which turn and spin to generate power.
As of 2021, wind power contributes around 24% of the electricity generated in the UK. The total capacity of wind power installations in the UK is over 24 gigawatts. Wind power has become a significant source of renewable energy in the UK's energy mix.
The answer is also dependent on the size of the windmill used to collect the wind power. The greater the area of the windmill's blades the more power can be generated.
