An analysis of 93 wind projects, with some 14 gigawatts (14,000,000 kilowatts) of
wind power capacity found «the average permanent direct impact value» of 0.3 hectares per MW of capacity.

For example, the researchers
found that in a high -
wind scenario in the Southern Africa
Power Pool, strategic siting and grid interconnections would reduce the need for conventional generation
capacity by 9.5 percent, resulting in cost savings of 6 to 20 percent, depending on the technology that was avoided.

Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2017
finds that
wind, solar, biomass and waste - to - energy, geothermal, small hydro and marine sources added 138.5 gigawatts to global
power capacity in 2016, up 8 per cent from the 127.5 gigawatts added the year before.
An earlier EWEA Tradewind study
found that, for the 2020 medium scenario (200 GW, 12 %
wind penetration), aggregating
wind energy production from multiple countries strongly increased the
capacity credit, the amount of
capacity that can be relied on to meet peak demand, almost doubled it to 14 %, which they say corresponds to approximately 27 GW of firm
power in the system.
For the 2020 Medium scenario the countries studied showed an average annual
wind capacity factor of 23 — 25 %, rising to 30 — 40 %, when considering
power production during the 100 highest peak load situations — in almost all the cases studied, it was
found that
wind generation produces more than average during peak load hours.
