In relation to the percentage of use of wind power, calculated as the ratio between wind power generation nationwide and full load power, Ireland is clearly the leading country with a value of 56.1%. Spain, with a utilization percentage of 25.3%, is above the average utilization of the ENTSO-E member countries, which as of December 31, 2021, was 24.9%.
Concerning the contribution of this source compared to the total generation, Denmark continues to be in first place with the 49.3% of its electricity generation coming from the wind, and Spain is in fifth place.
Use of wind power capacity in ENTSO-E member countries as at 12.31.2021
Source: Data from ENTSO-E Transparency Platform dated 01/26/2022. These data are covered by the criteria of Regulation (EU) No. 543/2013, encompassing units with installed capacity equal to or greater than 1 MW and referring to the power available for System Operation and, therefore, differ from the data used for the case of Spain at a national level that consider the total installed capacity.
The utilization percentage is calculated as the quotient between the generation of the technology and the power at full load.

Share of wind power generation nationwide over total generation within ENTSO-E member countries in 2021
Source: Data from ENTSO-E Transparency Platform as of 1/26/2022. These data are protected under the criteria of Regulation (EU) No 543/2013, proceeding from real-time systems and therefore differ from the consolidated data used for the specific case of Spain at the national level, whose origin is the measurement system.
