of Wind Energy www.wwindea.org Stefan Gsnger History of wind power
in Europe 12th century: First wind mills in Europe, coming from
Arabian countries Rise of Netherlands is based on wind energy End
of 19th century: 20000 wind mills in Germany 200000 wind mills in
Europe Pioneer in Denmark: Paul la Cour 1891: electricity
generation from wind 1894: hydrogen lighting system 1930s: Hermann
Honnef proposes 60 MW wind generator 1950s: Ulrich Htter creates
scientific basis for modern wind turbines 1957: Mhlengesetz
promotes decommisioning of wind mills in Germany 1960s: preliminary
stopp of research on wind technology 1970s: oil crisis renaissance
begins Wind Power in the World

decommissioned in 1987 We need Growian (), in order to demonstrate
that it does not work. (Gnter Kltte, RWE Board, February 1982)

Community Power Community Power can be defined by any combination
of two of the following three elements: Local stakeholders own the
majority or all of a project A local individual or a group of local
stakeholders, whether they are farmers, cooperatives, independent
power producers, financial institutions, municipalities, schools,
etc., own, immediately or eventually, the majority or all of a
project. Voting control rests with the community-based organization
A community-based organization made up of local stakeholders has
the majority of the voting rights concerning the decisions taken on
the project. The majority of social and economic benefits are
distributed locally The major part or all of the social and
economic benefits are returned to the local community. There is a
broad variety of different legal and economic forms of community
power. Community Wind Power in the World
