In Europe, we installed a record number of wind generators with a total capacity of 2, 34 GW

Wind power plants in 2014 generated 8% of all energy in the EU, and by 2030, the European Commission is planning to raise the level of development of alternative sources of electricity to 27%.





In the first half of 2015 in Europe, we installed 584 wind turbines with a total capacity of 2 GW 34 - 200% more than in the same period last year. The number of turbines of the period increased by 160%. All turbines installed in twelve wind power, writes "Kommersant» citing a report by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA).

In the coastal waters of the eleven European countries are working eighty two wind power plants, which employ more than three thousand generators with total capacity of 10 GW 4. In Europe, there is a construction of fifteen new wind power plants with total capacity of 4 GW 27.

In 2014, wind power capacity in the EU amounted to 128, 8 GW. The average number of generators installed in the region from 2000 grew to 9, 8% annually. The record holder for the number of power generators - Germany. In second place - Spain - the third UK.

In Denmark, July 11, 2015 grid wind power received from such production of electricity, which exceeded the required level for the whole country by 16%. The country began a state program for the complete cessation of the use of fossil fuels by 2050, including not only incineration to generate electricity and for transport.
