Wind Power
A Sustainable and Renewable Energy Source
Wind power or
wind energy is the use of wind turbines to
generate electricity. Wind power is
a popular, sustainable, renewable energy source that has a
much smaller impact on the environment than burning fossil fuels. Wind
farms consist of many individual wind turbines, which are connected to
the electric power transmission network."
2020, wind supplied almost 1600 TWh of electricity, which was over 5% of
worldwide electrical generation and about 2% of energy consumption.With
over 100 GW added during 2020, mostly in China, global installed wind
power capacity reached more than 730 GW. To help meet the Paris
Agreement goals to limit climate change, analysts say it should expand
much faster - by over 1% of electricity generation per year.
