Wind power capacity installations

During2012,12,744MWofwindpowerwasinstalledacross Europe, of which 11,895 MW was in theEuropean Union.

Of the11,895MW installed in theEU,10,729MWwasonshoreand1,166MWoffshore. Investment inEUwind farmswasbetween€12.8bnand€17.2bn.Onshore wind farms attracted €9.4bn to €12.5bn,while offshore wind farms accounted for €3.4bn to€4.7bn.

In terms of annual installations, Germany was thelargestmarket in2012, installing2,415MWofnewcapacity, 80 MW of which (3.3%) offshore. The UKcame in secondwith 1,897MW, 854MW of which(45%)offshore,followedbyItalywith1,273MW,Spain(1,122MW),Romania (923MW),Poland (880MW),Sweden(845MW)andFrance(757MW).

Note: wind energy penetration levels are calculated using average capacity factors onshore and offshore and Eurostat electricity consumption fi gures (2010). Consequently, Figure 3.6 indicates approximate share of consumption met by the installed wind energy capacity at end 2012. The Figure does not represent real wind

energy production and electricity consumption data over a calendar year. Consequently real national fi gures for any given year can vary. For example, according to the Portuguese TSO (REN), wind energy met over 19% of total consumption during 2012.

Despite the growth of annual wind energy installations in 2012 and cumulative capacity reaching 106GW,windenergydeployment is laggingbehind theobjec-tivestheEUMemberStatesset themselves in theirNational Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs)(4). Comparison with the NREAPs does not takeinto account any subsequent changes to targets.Interestingly, installations in 2012 were higher thanEWEA’sexpectations.

Wind power targets

In2009,theEWEApublishedagrowthscenario(5) that expectedcumulativecapacityintheEUtobe103GWattheendof2012.However,EWEA’sscenarioreaches230 GW of installed wind energy capacity in 2020,whereas the sum of the Member State’s NREAP’sis213GW. The latter suggests thatwhereasEWEAtook a gradual approach with annual installations increasing slowly at the beginning and more rapidly towards 2020, the Member States, on the whole,“front-loaded”theirtrajectories.
