Installed wind power capacity in Germany 2008-2023

Wind power capacity in Germany has increased significantly since 2008, reaching the peak of 69,459 megawatts in 2023. This was an increase when compared with the previous year, wherein the value was around 66,163 megawatts. Onshore wind energy accounted for the majority of installations. In 2021, combined capacity on wind farms on land reached 56,013 megawatts.Wind energy productionAs wind power capacity has increased, so has electricity generation from wind. In 2000, generation from wind stood at 9.5 terawatt hours. By 2021, this had increased to 113.9 terawatt hours, of which, 89.5 terawatt hours came from onshore wind. Germany is the leader in wind power electricity generation in Europe. Wind power plays an important role in Germany’s renewable energy mix. In 2021, it made up 20.3 percent of renewable sources used to generate electricity.

自2008年以来，德国的风能装机容量显著增长，至2023年已达69,459兆瓦的峰值。相较于上一年，此增长显著，当年装机容量约为66,163兆瓦。陆上风电装机占主导地位。至2021年，陆上风电场装机总容量达到56,013兆瓦。随着风能装机容量的提升，风能发电量亦随之增加。2000年，风能发电量为9.5太瓦时。至2021年，这一数字增至113.9太瓦时，其中89.5太瓦时源自陆上风电。德国在欧洲风能电力生成领域处于领先地位。风能在德国的可再生能源组合中扮演着至关重要的角色。2021年，风能占德国用于发电的可再生能源来源的20.3%。” }
