OverviewEU Wind Power PackageBy countryEurope''s Wind Energy EventPublic opinionSee alsoExternal links
The European Commission introduced the European Wind Power Package in October 2023, which incorporates the European Wind Power Action Plan. This plan aims to streamline wind energy deployment by expediting processes such as permitting and auction design, with an emphasis on increasing investment in offshore wind and ocean energies. Despite EU wind generation capacity reaching 221 GW in 2023, additional efforts are required to align
Latest wind energy data for Europe
Germany built the most wind energy in H1 2025 (2.2 GW), followed by Spain (889 MW) and the UK (760 MW). Europe now has 291 GW of wind power capacity. 254 GW of this is onshore and 37 GW
