Europe’s Wind Installations Reach Record Pace
Coverage from Enlit, CEENERGYNEWS, and others
Europe installed 8.
8 GW of new wind capacity in the first half of 2026, 30% more than in the same period of 2025, putting the region on track for a record year. Germany led additions, while Ukraine added more than 400 MW despite wartime conditions, and governments awarded over 17 GW through auctions. Continued growth will depend on permitting, grid investment, auction design, and policies that expand electricity demand and wind integration.
