The world's renewable power stations, all on one map

This atlas plots every utility-scale solar park and wind farm tracked by Global Energy Monitor: 122,938 facilities in 222 countries, ranging from 1 MW village solar fields to gigawatt-scale desert parks and offshore wind farms in the North Sea. Operating plants glow. Projects under construction or in the pipeline appear as rings, so the map shows where clean power is generated today and where the next wave is being built.

Zoom out and the global pattern appears: the dense solar belts of eastern China, India’s Rajasthan and Gujarat, the US South-West and Spain; the wind corridors of the US Great Plains, northern China, Europe’s North Sea coasts and Brazil’s north-east. Zoom in to find individual farms, then click one for its capacity, start year, owner and a link to simulate its output with real NASA weather in our solar panel calculator.

How to read the map

Colour shows technology: gold for solar PV, orange for concentrated solar power, teal for onshore wind and blue for offshore wind.
Size is proportional to capacity (dot area grows with megawatts).
Solid vs ring: solid dots are operating; rings are under construction, in pre-construction or announced. Add “Halted” to see shelved, cancelled and retired projects.
Glow at world scale is a density heat layer weighted by capacity. It fades as you zoom in and individual farms take over.
The panel totals always describe what is currently visible on screen with your filters, so you can pan to any region and read its installed capacity straight away.

Frequently asked questions

What is the largest solar farm in the world?

In this dataset the largest operating solar PV facility is Xinjiang Ruoqiang (China Green Power) solar farm in China, at about 4 GW. China hosts most of the world’s gigawatt-scale solar parks, followed by India, the Middle East and the United States. Set the minimum size to 1 GW on the map to see them all.

What is the largest wind farm in the world?

The largest operating onshore wind facility listed is Gansu - Shandong Power Export Huanxian (Huaneng) Wind/Solar Demonstration Project wind farm (China, about 4.5 GW); offshore, it is Guangdong Yangjiang Shaba (Three Gorges) Offshore wind farm (China, about 1.7 GW). Many “wind bases” in China are tracked as several facilities, so individual project names may differ from news headlines.

How many solar and wind farms are there in the world?

This atlas maps 122,938 utility-scale solar and wind facilities tracked by Global Energy Monitor: generally solar parks of 1 MW and above (20 MW+ in some regions) and wind farms of 10 MW and above. Rooftop solar and small turbines, which number in the tens of millions, are not included.

What do the solid dots and rings mean?

Solid, glowing dots are operating facilities. Hollow rings are projects under construction, in pre-construction or announced. Dot area grows with capacity, so a 1,000 MW park is drawn much larger than a 10 MW one.

How does the timeline work?

Press play under “Build-up timeline” and the map shows only operating facilities that started up in or before each year, from 2000 to today, with the total capacity counter updating as the world builds out solar and wind. Facilities without a known start year are hidden in timeline mode.

Can I link to a specific farm or view?

Yes. The address bar stores the map position, filters, selected country and timeline year; click a farm and use “Copy link” to share that facility directly.

Where does the data come from and how current is it?

From Global Energy Monitor’s Global Solar Power Tracker and Global Wind Power Tracker (February 2026 release), licensed CC BY 4.0. Locations marked “approximate” are not exact GPS positions. Capacities are in megawatts AC for solar where reported.
