Dataset Schema (4 features)
| Name | Type | Nullable | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entity | categorical | No | Name of the country, region, or aggregated geographic entity for which the wind energy data is reported. |
| Code | string | Yes | Standardized country or regional code associated with the entity. May be missing for aggregated regions. |
| Year | integer | No | Calendar year representing when the wind energy share measurement was recorded. |
| Wind (% equivalent primary energy) | float | No | Percentage share of total equivalent primary energy consumption that is supplied by wind energy sources. |

About This Dataset
The dataset contains yearly records of the share of wind energy in total equivalent primary energy consumption for various countries and global regions. Each entry represents a specific entity (country or region) and a corresponding year, along with the percentage of energy derived from wind power. The dataset enables analysis of the growth of wind energy adoption, renewable energy transition patterns, and comparisons across geographic regions over multiple decades.
Data Quality
The dataset is structurally consistent with uniform formatting across rows. The main numerical column contains complete values with no missing entries. However, the country or region code field contains missing values for aggregated regions such as continents or global groups.
Use Cases
Renewable energy trend analysis, wind power adoption studies, climate policy research, energy transition modeling, sustainability reporting, and academic research on renewable energy development.
Limitations
The dataset only represents the percentage share of wind energy and does not include absolute energy production or consumption values. Missing entity codes for aggregated regions may limit integration with datasets requiring standardized country codes.
Methodology
The dataset was likely compiled by aggregating national and regional energy statistics, converting wind electricity generation into equivalent primary energy values, and calculating its share relative to total primary energy consumption.
