According to data from Global Energy Monitor, East Asia is set to expand its wind power production capacity by 65% by the end of 2030, which will solidify the region’s position as the top wind power production area.
Wind power is the fastest-growing renewable energy source globally and must expand rapidly if net-zero emissions goals are to be achieved.
South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan are expected to post faster growth rates than China through 2030, with South Korea expected to see a 3,275% swell in capacity to become the 6th largest wind power producer globally.
These East Asian countries are set to account for 36.2% of the world’s wind capacity by 2030, maintaining the region’s status as the largest hub for wind power.
