Regulations and incentives This century's top concern now is global warming.
Today, wind power is generated almost completely using wind turbines, generally grouped into wind farms and connected to the electrical grid. In 2025, wind supplied about 2,700 TWh of electricity, which was over 8% of world electricity. With about 100 GW added during 2021, mostly in China and. Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind's kinetic energy. The blades are connected to a drive shaft that turns an electric generator, which produces (generates) electricity. RenewableUK is highlighting a major clean energy milestone as the UK's combined onshore and offshore wind capacity now stands at 25.

Development in the 20th century might be usefully divided into the periods: • 1900–1973, when widespread use of individual wind generators competed against fossil fuel plants and centrally-generated electricity• 1973–onward, when the spurred investigation of non-petroleum energy sources.
Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no air pollution, unlike fossil fuels. Wind turbines have some of the lowest global warming potential per unit of electricity generated: far less greenhouse gas is emitted than for the average unit of electricity, so wind power helps limit. Wind is a renewable energy source. Overall, using wind to produce energy has fewer effects on the environment than many other energy sources.
Storm is a renewable energy producer. Together with our team, we develop, build and operate sustainable energy projects across the country: from wind and solar parks to fast charging stations and battery storage.
