Annual electricity generation from wind is measured in terawatt-hours (TWh) per year. This includes both onshore and offshore wind sources.
Data Table
| Country | 2024 Wind Power Generation (TWh) |
|---|---|
| Canada | 45.12 |
| China | 991.60 |
| Germany | 133.44 |
| India | 81.57 |
| Spain | 62.93 |

| United States | 453.45 |
Instructions: Study the graph and data table above to answer the questions.
Question 1
Choose two countries on the chart above to compare. Identify which country produced more wind energy (in terawatt-hours) in 2024 and by how much.
Question 2
Based on the chart, do you think wind energy is growing worldwide? What evidence supports your answer?
Question 3
Add up the 2024 wind energy generation in terawatt hours of every country on the chart, except China. How does China’s 2024 wind energy production compare to the combined production of the other six countries?
Question 4
What challenges do you think countries face when trying to increase wind power generation?
