European wind power capacity by 2020 will grow 3 times

【2011-8-16】

    According to EWEA predicts that by 2020, wind power output will increase three times, there will be 194 billion euros to invest in land and sea wind energy projects in Europe. This is mainly due to strong European regulations and policies to promote the same in 2020, also requires appropriate regulatory support. Not only for the European wind energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions continued contribution, he accelerated to get rid of expensive fossil fuel dependence, while generating new jobs, making Europe more competitive, Europe to provide a safe and sustainable energy.

 

    Output of electricity from wind by 2010 182TWh (about Europe's total electricity demand of 5.5%) growth in 2020 of 581 TWh (about Europe's total electricity demand of 15.7%). 2020, from wind power capacity will be with France, Germany, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom the sum of all household electricity consumption quite. By 2030, there will be 1154 TWh (28% of total demand) from wind, more than 241 million households expected in Europe with electricity. At present, wind generation capacity to meet the 50 million European households electricity demand.

 

    The next 10 years (2010-2020), the EU wind energy growth will appear in a different amount. Percentage (%) showed the country's total wind power by 2020 the proportion of electricity demand. Of which:

 

    Austria: × 3.5 (10%)

 

    Belgium: × 4.3 (10%)

 

    Denmark: × 1.6 (38%)

 

    France: × 4 (11%)

 

    Germany: × 1.8 (17%)

 

    Netherlands: × 4.2 (20%)

 

    Portugal: × 1.9 (28%)

 

    Spain: × 1.9 (27%)

 

    UK: × 5 (19%)
