Wind power in numbers
With more than 32,900 MW of cumulative installed capacity, wind power is the leading source of electricity generation in Spain, currently covering 21.8% of electricity demand and accounting for 24% of the generation mix. This is a significant milestone for the energy sector and reflects the country’s commitment to the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
Spain has 1,454 wind farms with 22,433 wind turbines installed, generating more than 59,300 GWh.
During 2025, 1,420 MW of new capacity was commissioned. Regional leadership is concentrated in five autonomous communities. Castilla y León leads in total installed capacity with 7,640 MW, followed by Aragón (6,106 MW), Castilla-La Mancha (4,928 MW), Galicia (3,874 MW), and Andalucia (3,680 MW), forming the core of Spain’s wind energy landscape.
Spain ranks seventh in the world in terms of installed wind power capacity, behind China, the United States, Germany, India, Brazil, and the United Kingdom, and third in Europe, behind Germany and the United Kingdom.

Wind Power in the world
Global installed wind capacity stands at 1,299 GW, of which 1,206.5 GW comes from onshore installations and 92.5 GW from offshore installations.
In 2025, wind power added 165 GW of new capacity to the grid, the highest figure ever recorded by the wind industry and 40% higher than in 2024, which had previously been a record-breaking year. A record 155.3 GW of new onshore wind capacity was added, representing a 42% increase, along with 9.3 GW of new offshore wind capacity, up 16%. Fifty-seven countries installed wind turbines during the year, and 138 countries now generate energy for their economies from wind power.
The Asian market, led by China and India, added 131 GW of new capacity, accounting for 80% of the global total. Meanwhile, Europe, North America, Africa, and the Middle East exceeded expectations by installing significant volumes of new wind projects.
