3. Developing and harnessing the energy of
renewable energy sources has become a top
priority for many nations in the wake of climate
change and global warming discourse. Countries
in the European continent are recongized around
the world as leaders in the development and
application of renewable energy.
European nations have understood that utilizing
renewable energy sources will help reduce their dependence on
foreign energy imports and meeting C02 emission targets to combat
global warming. Europe utilizes several sources of renewable energy
including Wind, Solar, Nuclear and Hydroelectric.
Research into the Wind Energy Sector highlighted Europes potential
in harnessing onshore and offshore energy. A European Environment
Agency report published in early 2009 showed that Europe’s wind
energy potential could power Europe many times over.
European countries have adopted forward-looking approaches
through its huge development in the Wind Energy Sector. The Wind
Energy Sector has grown significantly, with companies increasing
investment and more Wind Farms being build both onshore and
offshore. In 2015, 12,800 MW of wind power capacity was installed
and grid-connected, an increase of 6.4% from 2014. Now, Europe
has over 142 GW of installed wind energy, 131 GW onshore and 11
GW offshore, representing 15.6% of Europes total power capacity.

5. Humans have been utilizing wind power since they have been sailing the sea’s.
Windmills in China pumped water Man has utilised wind to ground grain and
pump water since over two millennia. With the development of electric power,
wind power found new applications in providing lighting in areas remote from
centrally-generated power.
New ways of using the energy of the wind eventually spread around the world. By the
11th century, people in the Middle East used windmills extensively for food production.
Returning merchants and crusaders carried this idea back to Europe. The Dutch
refined the windmill and adapted it for draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River
Delta. When settlers took this technology to the New World in the late 19th century,
they began using windmills to pump water for farms and ranches and later to generate
electricity for homes and industry.
American colonists used windmills to
grind wheat and corn, to pump water
and to cut wood at sawmills. With the
development of electric power, wind
power found new applications in lighting
buildings remotely from centrally
generated power. Throughout the 20th
century, small wind plants, suitable for
farms and residences, and larger utility-
scale wind farms that could be
connected to electricity grids were
developed.

6. Background and policy
The development of a resilient Energy Union with a forward-looking climate policy is
one of the strategic objectives of the European Union (EU). To encourage the transition
to a more secure, affordable and decarbonised energy system the EU adopted climate
and energy targets for 2020 and 2030 together with a long-term goal to reduce EU-
wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80–95 % below 1990 levels by 2050
(European Council, 2009). Meeting these objectives will require switching to low-
carbon energy sources and mastering our energy demand through energy and
resource efficiency improvements and through lifestyle changes.
Renewable energy sources (RES) are already a main
contributor to this energy transition. Compared with
fossil fuel alternatives they have a high GHG
mitigation potential as well as lower health and
environment impacts. Increasing the use of
renewables during the coming years will bring
considerable benefits in terms of green jobs and
growth. This could well prove decisive as Europe
strives to become a sustainable, low-carbon
economy by 2050.
This report complements the findings shown in the
Trends and Projections in Europe 2015 — Tracking
progress towards Europe's climate and energy
targets report with details about the 2013 RES
progress at EU and at country level, and for key
RES technologies. Furthermore, it provides

7. A wind-powered future would mean reduced risks associated with fossil and
nuclear fuels. Wind power entails no geo-political risk, reduces external energy
dependence, reduces the need for energy imports, has no fuel costs, no fuel
price risk, no resource constraints, no CO2 and other harmful emissions and no
radioactive waste.
Reliable, clean power for European domestic consumers and reduced power costs for
increasingly high energy use industries can be obtained, and more cheaply than today.
Energy is fundamental to any economy; wind energy can be a driver for European
growth. With the right kind of collaboration and investment, electricity production from
wind and its contribution to meeting European electricity consumption could raise
from 83 TWh in 2005 to 965 TWh by 2030, supplying 23% of European electricity. This
projection takes into account that consumption is expected to increase by half over
the same period.

8. Global Perspective
Wind power was the leading source of new power generating capacity in Europe and
the United States in 2015, and the second largest in China. Globally, a record 63 GW
was added for a total of about 433 GW. Non-OECD countries were responsible for the
majority of installations, led by China, and new markets emerged across Africa, Asia
and Latin America. Corporations and other private entities continued turning to wind
energy for reliable and low-cost power, while many large investors were drawn by its
stable returns.
The offshore sector had a strong year with an estimated 3.4 GW connected to grids,
mostly in Europe, for a world total exceeding 12 GW. Wind power is playing a major
role in meeting electricity demand in an increasing number of countries, including
Denmark (42% of demand in 2015), Germany (more than 60% in four states) and
Uruguay (15.5%).

9. Global Wind Power Industry
The wind power industry had another outstanding year thanks to record installations.
Most of the top turbine manufacturers broke their own annual installation numbers. By
early 2016, manufacturers had full order books, with some receiving record orders for
on- and offshore turbines, presaging momentum for future years. But rising
competition in the global marketplace and fragmentation in the market required that
manufacturers and developers be flexible to adapt in different environments. Spain’s
manufacturers, for instance, survived by exporting 100% of their production.
