Wind
One country holds more than 40% of all installed capacity.
Global wind capacity has passed 1,299 GW. China dominates by installed base and by 2025 additions, including offshore; India is the clearest forward-momentum story despite a much smaller current base.
Standings
Holds more than 40% of global wind capacity and added the most new offshore wind of any country in 2025 (6.6 GW), bringing its offshore total to 48.4 GW.
Named alongside China and India as one of the three countries leading new wind capacity additions in the current build cycle; a specific U.S. GW figure wasn’t available from the sources checked.
Half of India’s planned wind capacity is currently under construction — the clearest forward-momentum signal of the three leaders, even without a comparably large installed base yet.

How this ranking was determined
Ranked by a combination of installed-base dominance (China) and construction-pipeline momentum (India) since no single figure captures both fairly; the US’s exact additions figure was not independently available.
