Analysis
Japan recorded 1.79 terawatt-hours for annual change in primary energy from wind in 2025. That is the highest value across all 60 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 63.3% on the previous year and up 755.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, annual change in primary energy from wind in Japan peaked at 1.79 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, -0.1207 terawatt-hours, in 2022.
That places Japan 15th out of 80 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
