FIGURE 6. Power demand and wind energy generation in the EU-27 in 2025 (GW)
The highest daily output occurred on 6 January, when generation reached around 2,800 GWh, equivalent to an than in 2024. On average, northern Europe and the Baltic average output of roughly 119 GW, or about 51% of the installed fleet operating at full capacity for an entire day. strength, leading to lower generation across several large power plants, with a total generation of 470 GWh, covering in 2025. In many countries, wind capacity additions continued to outpace grid expansion and reinforcement, 2023. The legislation calls on Member States to ensure that leading to a growing volume of lost generation. This are completed within one year for repowering projects. In Renewables Acceleration Areas, the deadline is six months. Despite this, national barriers continue to hold back the uptake of repowering in some countries. In Spain, severe grid to increase the installed capacity of existing wind farms. In France, strict tip-height limits restrict the installation of larger turbines, preventing repowering projects from fully in 2025, unchanged from 2024. EU electricity demand was consistent with 2024, remaining just under 2,500 TWh. Total wind generation in the EU reached 465 TWh in 2025, down were unusually light but recovered afterwards. New capacity
