Progress on wind power in Spain.


http://renewableenergyaccess.com/rea/news/story?id=35745



The Spanish wind power industry is on a roll. From just over 200 MW in 1997, the Spanish market has been steadily growing at annual rates of more than 30 percent. Last year Spain reached a record level of 2,065 MW installed, a 33 percent increase on 2003, taking the total to 8,263 MW, and leading the world for the first time, just pushing ahead of the previous leader Germany.

...

As a result of its continued success, the previous Government target of 13,000 MW installed wind capacity in 2010 has been updated to 20,000 MW in 2011. In 1999, the target was 8,900 MW by 2010, considered ambitious at that time. The Government's new target would see wind energy supplying 15 percent national electricity consumption, up from 6.5 percent today.
