“China is the global leader in wind energy, with a staggering 520 GW of installed wind power capacity by the end of 2024, accounting for over 30% of the world’s total. This includes both onshore and offshore wind, with onshore dominating due to its earlier start and lower costs, while offshore is rapidly expanding, particularly along the 18,000 km coastline with an estimated potential of 1,000 GW. In 2023 alone, China added 75 GW of new wind capacity, and in the first half of 2024, another 25 GW, driven by ambitious national targets and the phase-out of feed-in tariffs.”

(Here in NM - south of me - the construction is underway for the largest wind farm in USA - unfortunately, the power it generates will be used in other states)

“The SunZia Wind project in New Mexico, currently under construction, is set to become the largest wind farm in the United States and the Western Hemisphere upon completion in 2026. With a capacity of 3.5 gigawatts (GW), it will dwarf the current largest U.S. wind farm, the Alta Wind Energy Center in California (1.55 GW). Located across Lincoln, Torrance, and San Miguel Counties, SunZia will feature over 900 turbines—674 GE Vernova 3.6 MW turbines and 242 Vestas V163-4.5 MW turbines—spanning a million acres. It’s paired with a 550-mile, 3 GW HVDC transmission line to deliver power to Arizona and California, supporting up to 3 million homes. The $11 billion project, developed by Pattern Energy, has secured $11 billion in financing and will generate significant economic benefits, including over 2,000 construction jobs and $20.5 billion in economic impact for New Mexico and Arizona.[](https://www.eenews.net/articles/biggest-us-wind-project-is-under-construction-in-new-mexico/)[](https://www.fastcompany.com/91007521/ge-is-building-674-turbines-for-the-largest-wind-farm-in-the-u-s)[](https://www.power-technology.com/projects/sunzia-wind-project-new-mexico-us/)

While China leads globally in wind energy (520 GW installed capacity), SunZia’s scale is a notable step for the U.S., though it faces challenges like environmental concerns and transmission constraints, similar to those in China’s grid.[](https://interestingengineering.com/energy/largest-clear-energy-project-us-sunzia)
