Dataset Schema (4 features)
| Name | Type | Nullable | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entity | string | No | Name of the country or geographic region for which wind electricity generation is recorded. |
| Code | string | Yes | ISO alpha-3 country code representing the geographic entity when applicable. Missing for aggregated regional entries. |
| Year | integer | No | Calendar year corresponding to the recorded wind electricity generation value. |
| Wind generation - TWh | float | No | Total electricity generated from wind power in terawatt-hours (TWh) for the given entity and year. |

About This Dataset
The dataset records historical wind power generation across countries and regions over multiple years. Each record includes the geographic entity (country or region), its ISO code when available, the year of observation, and the total electricity generated from wind sources in terawatt-hours. The dataset enables longitudinal analysis of renewable energy adoption and growth of wind power generation worldwide.
Data Quality
The dataset appears structurally consistent with numeric yearly generation values and standardized country or region names. The ISO country code column contains missing values for aggregated regions such as continents or global groups. Numeric fields are well formatted and contain no missing values.
Use Cases
Renewable energy trend analysis, climate policy research, energy transition studies, forecasting renewable energy growth, country-level comparison of wind energy adoption, and sustainability reporting.
Limitations
The dataset does not include additional contextual variables such as installed capacity, population, electricity demand, or policy factors. Some entries represent regions rather than individual countries, and ISO codes are missing for those aggregated entities.
Methodology
The data was likely compiled from national energy statistics, international energy agencies, and global renewable energy monitoring organizations, aggregated annually and standardized into terawatt-hour measurements for comparison across countries.
