Led By China, Global Wind Energy Installations Top 41 GW In 2011
by NAW Staff on Tuesday 07 February 2012

The global wind industry installed over 41 GW of wind energy in 2011, bringing the total global installed capacity to more than 238 GW at the end of last year, the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) announced in its latest report. This represents an increase of 21%, with growth in the size of the annual global market of just over 6%.

About 75 countries worldwide now have commercial wind power installations, and 22 of them have already passed the 1 GW mark.

Despite having faced a challenging year, China has consolidated its position as the global market leader, installing 18 GW in 2011 for a cumulative capacity of more than 62 GW. India was also a leader, installing over 3 GW of wind power in 2011 to push the nation’s total capacity to just over 16 GW - a number that is likely to go up to 5 GW per year by 2015, according to D.V. Giri, chairman of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association...

How does that 6% compare to the last few years? FBaggins Feb 2012 #1

What percent of 200 is 41? jpak Feb 2012 #2

Critical thinking? Try reading comprehension. FBaggins Feb 2012 #4

OK I will do this slowly jpak Feb 2012 #6

You can go as slow as you like, but until you actually "get it"... you can't answer. FBaggins Feb 2012 #7

Flopping like a fish out of water kristopher Feb 2012 #9

I knew you had trouble with basic physics... FBaggins Feb 2012 #10

The 6% refers to the contribution of wind to global generating capacity jpak Feb 2012 #13

No it doesn't. FBaggins Feb 2012 #14

Why don't you stop acting out? kristopher Feb 2012 #18

Acting out? I'm simply correcting his ongoing misunderstanding. FBaggins Feb 2012 #20

You are acting out. Please stop disrupting the discussion. kristopher Feb 2012 #23

Avoidance of what? kristopher Feb 2012 #26

Excuse me? FBaggins Feb 2012 #29

No. I don't think your behavior is able to be excused. kristopher Feb 2012 #34

The answer is in #38 FBaggins Feb 2012 #39

It grew at 21% per year in 2011 jpak Feb 2012 #11

Still not getting that highschool math thingy, eh? FBaggins Feb 2012 #15

FBaggins 1. How does that 6% compare to the last few years? kristopher Feb 2012 #17

The "joke" is that you keep dodging the question. FBaggins Feb 2012 #22

Maybe this will help kristopher Feb 2012 #8

It still won't convince him jpak Feb 2012 #12

It "convinces" me that you still don't get it. FBaggins Feb 2012 #16

Please stop acting like a troll. kristopher Feb 2012 #19

You wouldn't know a troll if you saw one in the mirror. FBaggins Feb 2012 #21

You obviously stepped in it in post 1. kristopher Feb 2012 #25

Can you back that up? FBaggins Feb 2012 #27

... kristopher Feb 2012 #30

A simple "no" would have sufficed. FBaggins Feb 2012 #32

I'm looking for the answer... not a repeat of the question. FBaggins Feb 2012 #37

How many industries grew in 2011? kristopher Feb 2012 #3

Did the economic crisis start in 2011? FBaggins Feb 2012 #5

Raw figures: Dead_Parrot Feb 2012 #36

So the comparable figure for 2009 is 41% and for 2010 is -1.5%. Thanks. FBaggins Feb 2012 #38

Probably 200% ;) Dead_Parrot Feb 2012 #40

41 GW of wind = actual output of approx 17 nuclear reactors. kristopher Feb 2012 #28

Inconsistently... and for a much shorter period of time... but so what? FBaggins Feb 2012 #31

That is 17 nuclear plants worth of generation built in 1 year. kristopher Feb 2012 #33
