Global Surge in Demand for Renewables for Clean Energy Transition
Unstable Wind Direction Interrupts Power Generation in the US
By Shubhendra Anand , 07 March, 2025
Wind power production is an essential factor in the clean energy transition. A survey in the wind energy sector shows a notable decline in the United States wind power generation in 2024. The energy sector relies more on natural gas to provide uninterrupted electricity supplies. As natural gas fulfills the demand without hindrance, the electricity demand grows. Renewable energy sources for electricity generation depend on the climatic conditions. Power generation fluctuates if the sources are wind and solar energy for clean energy. However, the United States is forced to rely on electricity from natural gas to meet the growing electricity demands.
The drip in electricity supplies due to the lack of power generation in the United States is causing several events in 2024. Wind energy depends on the flow of wind and its flow direction. The flow patterns change in different time intervals. It shows inevitable fluctuations throughout the year—the energy sector experiences better power generation when seasonal wind patterns peak. However, the United States' energy sector was in a dilemma due to the rapid decline in electricity generation from wind energy. It has raised concerns among the policymakers in the US.
The rising demand for electricity from netizens in the US and nations' clean energy policies clash due to low electricity generation in 2024. Therefore, energy experts are concerned about the nation's electricity supply. It ultimately results in electricity generation from natural gas. Harnessing electricity from natural gas provides more stability than electricity from renewable sources. It indicates the necessity of stability in power generation. Therefore, policymakers emphasize improving the strength of renewable energy. Further, investments in renewable energy infrastructure and other technologies for power generation are necessary in the US.
Decline in wind power generation in 2023 continues in 2024 as well:
