EWEA has published today “The European offshore wind industry – Key trends and statistics: 1st half 2011”, please click here to view or download a copy. It shows that in the first six months of 2011, 101 offshore wind turbines totalling 348.1 MW (up 4.5% compared to the same period last year) were fully grid connected. Overall 11 offshore wind farms were under construction....
A new EWEA report to be published next month shows how wind energy can contribute very substantially to achieving the EU's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% by 2050.
The EWEA report sets out targets for the amount of wind power the industry expects to be able to deliver in 2020, 2030 and 2050. It aims to provide European policy makers with a clear understanding of...
13 June, 2011, Prague – On Saturday, more than 3, 000 visitors did not miss the traditional visiting day of wind power stations at the whole area of the Czech Republic. As a part of celebration of the Global Wind Day, the event was organized by the Czech Wind Energy Association (CzWEA).
Thousands of people took the advantage of beautiful weather to visit modern wind power...
EWEA calculations show that at the end of 2010, wind energy across the world avoided 255 Mt of CO2, equivalent to 26% of the emissions reductions commitment of industrialised countries under the Kyoto Protocol.

The EU must adopt a binding renewable energy target for 2030 to secure long-term investment in renewable energy.
At the opening in Brussels today of Europe's largest wind power conference and exhibition, Arthouros Zervos, President of the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), warned "the wind industry expects to invest some EUR 400 billion in Europe between now and 2030. To do so it...
according to a new report from the EU-funded UpWind project, published today at the EWEA 2011 Annual Event in Brussels.
The UpWind project explored the design limits of upscaling wind turbines to 20 Megawatt (MW) and found that they would have rotor diameters of around 200 metres, compared to some 120 metres on today's 5 MW turbines.
Such turbines could be a solution for expanding...
Global wind power installations increased by 35.8 GW in 2010, according to figures released by the Global Wind Energy Council today. This brings total installed wind energy capacity up to 194.4 GW, a 22.5% increase on the 158.7 GW installed at the end of 2009. The new capacity added in 2010 represents investments worth EUR 47.3 billion (US Dollars 65 bn).
For the first time in 2010, more...
9.3 gigawatt (GW) of new wind power capacity was installed in the EU during 2010, reaching a total of 84 GW by the end of 2010, according to figures released today by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) and coinciding with today's publication by the European Commission on financing renewable energy.
While offshore wind power installations grew 51% from 582 MW in 2009 to 883 MW last...
