FIGURE 3. Distribution of new wind installations by country, 2016-25
Lithuania recorded its best year to date, connecting Poland, Lithuania, Italy and Greece completed the top ten countries for newly installed onshore wind capacity in 2025. 759 MW of onshore wind capacity to the grid. This was 45% more than the previous record year, 2024 (522 MW). The for 2024. Progress was held up by the application of the was 6.2 MW, slightly down from 6.3 MW in 2024. 10H rule, which severely restricts turbine height and led to relatively small turbine models being deployed. However, Italy installed 579 MW of onshore wind capacity in 2025, 15% less than in 2024 (685 MW). The average power rating municipalities can opt for, reducing it to 500 m. of newly installed turbines rose to 4.9 MW, up from 4.1 MW
