The year 2025 ends with a bleak assessment for the global wind power industry, faced with a combination of regulatory, technical and financial challenges that slowed its growth to the weakest pace in more than two decades. According to ten-month data, global wind-powered electricity production reached 2,158 terawatt hours (TWh), only 7% higher than in 2024, compared with an average of 14% between 2015 and 2024.
