How this number is made
- Source
- GWEC, GWEC records sharp rise in wind turbine installations, as five OEMs exceed 100 GW
“GWEC’s annual Global Wind Market Development Supply Side Data Report, released to members and subscribers on its Global Market Intelligence platform, shows global wind turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) installed 28,395 new turbines worldwide in 2025, up 23% on the previous year.”
- Step 01
Take GWEC’s figure for 2025: 28,395.
- Step 02
Spread it evenly over a year of 31,557,600 seconds (365.25 days): about 3.24 wind turbines per hour.
- Step 03
Count from 00:00 UTC on 1 January of the current year, so the number resets every New Year.
- On screen
- The result of those steps, recomputed four times a second in your browser. Nothing on this page is fetched live from the publisher.
- Why this can't be exact
- Real activity is not spread evenly: it clusters in working hours, weekdays and seasons, so the count runs ahead or behind the true figure at any given moment. It runs at the 2025 pace until a figure for the current year is published. Digits beyond the first two or three are the model ticking, not extra precision.
