What the numbers mean
Wind share measures the mix of electricity generated inside a country. It does not measure installed turbine capacity, which depends on how much those turbines actually generate. Electricity trading also matters: a country can export wind power or import electricity from other sources. The annual share averages over much more variable hourly conditions.

The tenth entry is Netherlands at 27.37. This is a cutoff within the published comparison, not evidence that countries outside the table have no activity. The date and coverage are part of the answer: updating the source or changing the eligible territories can change who appears.
