List of large wind farms

This is a list of large wind farms, with a generating capacity of 100 megawatts (MW) or more, which are currently operating, under construction, or proposed. Wind power capacity has expanded quickly to 336 GW in June 2014, and wind energy production was about 4% of total worldwide electricity usage, and growing fast. 

Wind power is widely used in Europe, and more recently in the United States and Asia.Global wind energy markets continue to boom – 2006 another record year  (PDF).Global Wind Energy Council (2009).  Global Wind 2008 Report , p. 9, accessed on January 4, 2010. Wind power accounts for approximately 19% of electricity generation in Denmark, 11% in Spain and Portugal, and 9% in the Republic of Ireland.International Energy Agency (2009).
