Global wind energy capacity edges towards 200GW | Environment | guardian.co.uk
Global installed wind power capacity will fall just short of the 200GW mark by the end of this year, if new figures presented by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) yesterday prove correct.
The projections reveal that 40GW of new capacity will be added during 2010, ensuring that wind energy now accounts for about three per cent of global energy capacity.
Steve Sawyer, secretary general of the global trade association, told delegates at the Husum WindEnergy fair in Germany last week that despite a drop-off in orders from the US market this year, he still expected the sector to double capacity to 400GW by 2014.
