Global Wind Day - Discover people who are #WorkingInWind!

Global Wind Day - 15 June

Discover the power of wind energy

Global Wind Day is celebrated every year on 15 June

It’s a moment to recognise the power of wind energy—and the people who make it happen. Around the world, children and adults alike explore how wind energy works, its potential to change the world, and the jobs it can create. But it’s more than a celebration. It’s a chance to take stock. How is wind energy progressing? What challenges remain? And how can we reach new audiences who don’t yet see themselves as part of the sector?

Global Wind Day is a powerful way to make wind energy more visible, more relatable, and more human.

For Global Wind Day 2025 let's inspire others to join our industry by showing them what it's like to be #WorkingInWind!

Why wind energy?

Onshore wind is now the cheapest form of new power generation in most of Europe, and offshore wind is not far behind with costs having fallen over 60% in 3 years. And it’s getting easier and cheaper to integrate wind power in the energy system. As a local resource, wind also means much less money spent on fossil fuel imports. And of course it means less CO2 – and cleaner air – in our cities.

Wind turbines have only continued to become bigger, better, cheaper, and more efficient. Wind energy is now one of the most competitive energy sources in markets across the world and is one of the key technologies we need to build the clean energy system required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The growth of both onshore and offshore wind throughout the world also means more local investment, job creation and energy savings. The question now is not ‘why wind energy’ but rather ‘why not’?
