China and India wind capacity versus G7 economies, 2025

Installed wind capacity by selected economy, end-2025, GW; shares use world total.

What the Data Shows

Installed wind capacity compares China, India and the G7 economies at end-2025, measured in gigawatts. The graphic ranks nine same-source IRENA rows within the selected economy frame and plots raw capacity values. China ranks first at 640.6 GW, ahead of the United States at 158.8 GW and Germany at 77.8 GW. The selected economies account for 79.6 percent of world wind capacity, so the frame is not a complete world ranking.

Evidence: Supports 2024 and 2025 installed renewable capacity stocks by source and geography.

Data notes & caveats

This is a selected-economy comparison, not a global top-nine wind capacity ranking. Row shares use the IRENA world wind-energy capacity denominator where present.

Methodology

IRENA source MW capacity stocks were converted to GW by dividing by 1,000. Rows are sorted by installed wind-energy capacity within the selected China, India and G7 frame.

Source consistency notes

All rows use IRENA end-2025 wind energy CAP (MW) values and the same conversion to GW.
