Despite Europe's installed
wind power capacity now standing at 153.7 GW, it is still a relatively small fraction of the region's 918.8 GW of total power capacity.
Not exact matches
This would be particularly useful because the province's total
wind power capacity is expected to increase from 1,700 megawatts
now to around 7,800 megawatts by 2018.
The total
capacity for the world's
wind farms,
now generating
power in about 80 countries, is near 240,000 megawatts.
More than half of the country's new
power generation
capacity installed between
now and 2040 is renewables - based, tapping Mexico's large
wind and solar resources.

Now a study shows that grid connection issues and high -
wind problems mean that China's
wind capacity is lower than developers anticipated and the real cost of
wind power is as much as twice the expected cost.
By 2040,
wind and solar will make up almost half of the world's installed generation
capacity, up from just 12 percent
now, and account for 34 percent of all the
power generated, compared with 5 percent at the moment, BNEF concluded.
