With more than 32,900 MW<\/strong> of cumulative installed capacity, wind power is the leading source of electricity generation in Spain, currently covering 21.8%<\/strong> of electricity demand and accounting for 24%<\/strong> of the generation mix. This is a significant milestone for the energy sector and reflects the country\u2019s commitment to the transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.<\/p>\n

Spain has 1,454 wind farms<\/strong> with 22,433 wind turbines<\/strong> installed, generating more than 59,300 GWh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During 2025, 1,420 MW<\/strong> of new capacity was commissioned. Regional leadership is concentrated in five autonomous communities. Castilla y Le\u00f3n leads in total installed capacity with 7,640 MW, followed by Arag\u00f3n (6,106 MW), Castilla-La Mancha (4,928 MW), Galicia (3,874 MW), and Andalucia (3,680 MW), forming the core of Spain\u2019s wind energy landscape.<\/p>\n

Spain ranks seventh in the world<\/strong> in terms of installed wind power capacity, behind China, the United States, Germany, India, Brazil, and the United Kingdom, and third in Europe<\/strong>, behind Germany and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

In 2025, wind power added\u00a0<\/span>165 GW of new capacity to the grid<\/strong>, the highest figure ever recorded by the wind industry and\u00a0<\/span>40% higher than in 2024<\/strong>, which had previously been a record-breaking year. A record\u00a0<\/span>155.3 GW of new onshore wind capacity<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>was added, representing a\u00a0<\/span>42% increase<\/strong>, along with\u00a0<\/span>9.3 GW of new offshore wind capacity<\/strong>, up\u00a0<\/span>16%<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span>Fifty-seven countries installed wind turbines<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>during the year, and\u00a0<\/span>138 countries<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>now generate energy for their economies from wind power.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>Asian market<\/strong>, led by China and India, added\u00a0<\/span>131 GW of new capacity<\/strong>, accounting for\u00a0<\/span>80% of the global total<\/strong>. Meanwhile,\u00a0<\/span>Europe, North America, Africa, and the Middle East<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>exceeded expectations by installing significant volumes of new wind projects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
