One GW was planned to be added in 2022, but the stalled development. Wind farms are more resilient to attack than large gas and coal-fired power stations, because they are spread over a larger area so many more missiles are needed to destroy them. Before the war, Ukraine had around 55 GW of power station capacity, mainly coal, nuclear and gas. By 2024, Russian missiles had reduced this to 20 GW. Of the 700 wind turbines in Ukraine,.
