Highlights of the World Wind Energy Report 2008: Worldwide capacity reaches 121’188 MW, out of which 27’261 MW were added in 2008. Wind energy continued its growth in 2008 at an increased rate of 29 %. All wind turbines installed by the end of 2008 worldwide are generating 260 TWh per annum, equalling more than 1,5 % of the global electricity consumption. The wind sector became a global job generator and has created 440’000 jobs worldwide. The wind sector represented in 2008 a turnover of 40 billion €. For the first time in more than a decade, the USA took over the number one position from Germany in terms of total installations. China continues its role as the most dynamic wind market in the year 2008, more than doubling the installations for the third time in a row, with today more than 12 GW of wind turbines installed. North America and Asia catch up in terms of new installations with Europe which shows stagnation. Based on accelerated development and further improved policies, a global capacity of more than 1’500’000 MW is possible by the year 2020. [www.windea.org]
