There are a few countries around the world who have encouraged the penetration of wind energy into their electrical grids. For example, wind penetration in Denmark reached 48 percent, while wind generation in Ireland, Portugal and Germany amounted to 33 and 27 percent of their total electricity generation in 2019, respectively. Wind energy penetration reached only about seven percent in comparison, although the United States has installed the most wind power in the world, second only to China.
