China China has a installed capacity of 221 GW and is the leader in wind energy, with over a third of the world’s capacity. It has the world’s largest onshore wind farm with a capacity of 7,965 megawatt (MW), which is five times larger than its nearest rival. 2. United States The US comes second with 96.4 GW of installed capacity. The country has six of the 10 largest onshore wind farms. These include the Alta Wind Energy Centre in California, the world’s second-largest onshore wind farm with a capacity of 1,548 MW. 3. Germany With 59.3 GW, Germany has the highest installed wind capacity in Europe. Its largest offshore wind farms are the Gode Windfarms, which have a combined capacity of 582 MW.
