A wind energy generation system includes a tower, a nacelle provided in an upper portion of the tower to be rotatable around a central axis of the tower, a hub provided in front of the nacelle to be rotatable around an axis orthogonal to the central axis, and one or more blades provided on the hub. An oil receiving portion is provided on an outer wall of the tower to protrude outward from the outer wall and encircle the outer wall around the central axis. One or more opening portions that guide the oil received by the oil receiving portion into the tower are provided at a portion of the outer wall of the tower at which the oil receiving portion is provided. In the wind energy generation system, outflow of oil to the outside from the generation system can be inhibited.
