and 2.5 MW respectively, although this was based on the Germany connected the most powerful turbines on average, installation of just four and two turbines respectively. at 12.3 MW, from 41 turbines installed at the Borkum Riffgrund 3 and He Dreiht wind farms. The UK connected offshore turbines with an average power rating of 11.4 MW, significantly between countries. In 2025, the average power Gaoithe. In France, all 51 turbines connected in 2025 were Based on disclosed wind turbine orders, the average power 8 MW units, installed at the iles d'Yeu and Noirmoutier wind reached 5.2 MW, up from 4.6 MW in 2024, continuing the rating of onshore turbines ordered in 2025 was 6.1 MW, up from 5.7 MW in 2024. This indicates that the upward trend in turbine size is expected to continue over the coming years. placed in 2025 reached 14.6 MW, similar to the values Romania, with an average power rating of 6.6 Mw, followed observed in the previous two years. These turbines will be closely by Finland (6.5 MW) and Sweden (6.4 MW). connected to the grid in Europe rose to 10.7 MW in 2025, up At the other end of the scale, Switzerland and Portugal recorded the lowest average power rating, at 2.4 MW
