A staggering 9.3 GW of new wind power capacity was installed in the European Union during 2010, reaching a total of 84 GW by the end of 2010, according to figures released by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA).
In its latest report, “Wind in power: 2010 European statistics”, the association has shared that while offshore wind power installations grew 51% from 582 MW in 2009 to 883 MW last year, onshore wind power installations (8.4 GW) were down 13.9% compared to 2009 (9.7 GW). With 883 MW of new installed capacity, offshore wind power represented 9.5% of all new wind power installations (in MW).
Investment in EU wind farms in 2010 was €12.7 billion. The onshore wind power sector attracted €10.1 billion during 2010, whilst the offshore wind power sector accounted for around €2.6 billion. 9,259 MW of wind power capacity (worth some €12.7 billion) was installed in the EU during 2010, down 10% compared to the previous year.
