Europe and the Middle East are set to lead global onshore wind growth with projected capacity additions of 142 gigawatts (GW) by 2026, marking a 1% increase from the previous year. Meanwhile, China maintains stable growth due to grid improvements, and the U.S. anticipates a peak capacity of 8.1 GW as developers seek to capitalize on expiring tax credits. The industry is shifting focus toward overall system economics and integration capabilities, while competition intensifies among manufacturers.
