Wind power in Asia is an important component in the Asian energy industry and one of the key sources of renewable energy in the region. As of 2024, the installed capacity of wind power in Asia (excluding the Middle East) totalled 1,135 GW.[1] Asia is the fastest growing region in terms of wind energy, increased its installed capacity by a 10% yearly rate and holding 75% of the global market share.[1] China, with 520,600 MW of installed capacity, is the world's largest generator of electricity from wind energy. India is the second largest in Asia with an installed capacity of 48,156 MW.[1] Other key countries include Japan (5,877 MW), Vietnam (5,038 MW), Taiwan (3,037 MW), and South Korea (2,264 MW).[1]
