About This Dataset
The dataset records the proportion of total electricity generation that is produced using wind energy for multiple countries, regional blocs, and global aggregates over time. Each record contains the geographic entity, an optional entity code, the year, and the percentage share of electricity generated from wind sources. The dataset is structured as a time-series dataset enabling longitudinal analysis of renewable energy adoption and the growth of wind power in electricity systems.
Data Quality
The dataset contains consistent numeric formatting for percentage values and years. The primary measurement column has no missing values. However, the entity code column contains missing values for some regional aggregates or non-standard geographic groupings.
Use Cases
Renewable energy adoption analysis, electricity generation mix analysis, policy evaluation for clean energy transitions, wind energy growth trend studies, climate and sustainability research, and cross-country renewable energy comparisons.
Limitations
The dataset focuses only on the share of electricity generated from wind power and does not include total electricity production or generation from other energy sources for comparison. Some aggregated entities lack standardized geographic codes. The dataset also does not provide technical details such as installed wind capacity or turbine counts.
Methodology
The data is likely compiled from national electricity statistics, international renewable energy databases, and energy monitoring organizations. Electricity generation shares are calculated by dividing electricity produced from wind power by total electricity generation for each entity and year.
