However, the report indicates that wind power is projected to only double in the next six years, rather than triple, based on current national targets set by 70 countries.

The analysis included both onshore and offshore wind turbines, highlighting the importance of governments' ambition in promoting wind energy. Wind power, known for its complementarity with solar energy, plays a crucial role in achieving round-the-clock clean electricity production.
