In 2024, wind supplied over 2,494 TWh of electricity, which was 8.1% of world electricity. To help meet the Paris Agreement''s goals to limit climate change, analysts say it should expand much faster than it currently is – by over 1% of electricity generation per year. Expansion of wind power is being hindered by fossil fuel subsidies.
