Worldwide installed capacity (1996–2014)[1]

This is a list of the largest onshore wind farms that are currently operational, rated by generating capacity. Also listed are onshore wind farms with notability other than size, and the ten largest proposed projects.

Largest operational onshore wind farms

This is a list of the top onshore wind farms that are currently operational, rated by nameplate capacity. Many of these wind farms have been built in stages, and construction of a further stage may be continuing at some of these sites.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory projects that the levelized cost of wind power will decline about 25% from 2012 to 2030.[2]
The Gansu Wind Farm in China is the largest wind farm in the world, with a target capacity of 20,000 MW by 2020.
