Wind Energy for Europe
As one kind of green energy, wind energy can make a significant contribution to improving security of energy supplies in Europe.
Last year, more wind power capacity in the EU was installed than any other generation technology. Wind energy capacity grew by almost 15% in the EU, and even more, by almost the double, 28.8% globally.
The experts say that in view of such facts, those who still think that wind energy (wind power) will never be more than a "marginal" energy source are, themselves, rapidly being marginalised. As the green power, wind energy is becoming mainstream, and will be even more so in the years to come.
Now all EU countries have legally binding targets for the share of the energy consumption that must come from renewable sources by 2020. Of course, the targets vary from country to country but that wind power will play an important role in meeting the targets.
