Denmark is shaping up to be wind power's sweetheart. In 2015, it generated 42 percent of its power with wind turbines. It is the highest portion of any country's energy needs fulfilled by wind. And Denmark is no stranger to this podium. In 2014, it fulfilled 39 percent of its energy needs with wind, according to energinet.dk. Drilling down further, it's even more remarkable in western Denmark. Most of the countries wind turbines are there, and energinet.dk reports that, if we isolate western Denmark, those turbines supplied 55 percent of the power in 2015.
