Global Wind Day is a worldwide event that occurs annually on 15 June. It is a day for discovering wind, its power and the possibilities it holds to reshape our energy systems, decarbonise our economies and boost jobs and growth.

• Today, wind energy is a mature and mainstream technology and one of the fastest growing industrial sectors in the world with over $100 billion invested in 2015.
• In the EU alone, the wind industry installed more than gas and coal combined last year with enough cumulative installed capacity to meet 15% of the region’s electricity consumption, equivalent to powering 87 million households.
• The First Wind Day was commemorated in 2007 by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA).
