In 2022, China surpassed the United States by a significant margin, consuming 36% of the world’s wind energy. This lead is likely to continue as China has set more goals for wind energy production. China’s vast geographic size provides the country with substantial wind resources, both onshore and offshore. The Gansu Wind Farm in China is the world’s largest onshore wind farm, with a capacity of 7.9 gigawatts (GW). This is five times larger than its nearest competitor. China’s investment in wind energy is driven by a number of factors, including a desire to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions and to diversify the country’s energy mix. Wind energy is a clean and renewable resource that can help China meet its growing energy demand in a sustainable way. Wind energy is becoming more cost-competitive with coal and natural gas, thanks to technological advancements. Governments globally are supporting renewable energy, by providing subsidies and incentives, such as the UK government's decision to increase offshore wind subsidies by 66%. China's investment in wind energy is expected to drive global growth in its use.
