Wind Energy in EU-27 – status 2008
• 65 GW installed capacity, incl. 1.47 GW offshore
• Annual installations of 8.5 GW (43% of total), incl. 0.35 GW offshore
• Electricity production of 142 TWh
• Meeting 4.2% of total EU electricity demand
• Providing power equivalent to the needs of 35 million average EU households
• Avoiding 108 Mt of CO2 – equivalent to taking more than 50 million cars off the road (20% of the EU car fleet) and equal to 31% of the EU-15’s Kyoto obligation
• Annual avoided fuel cost of €5.4 billion*
• Annual avoided CO2 costs of approximately €2.4 billion*
• Annual investments in wind turbines of €11 billion*

20% Renewable Energy by 2020 requires:• 35% electricity from RES• 25% heating from RES• 10% biofuels from RES
Electricity 2005: 15% incl. 10% large hydro and 3% wind
Excluding large hydro the share of renewable electricity must increase from 5% to app. 25%, in 15 years depending on power demand
How Much Renewable Electricity? How Much Wind Power?
1 EC baseline scenario EU demand (2020): 4163.7 TW/h
March 2009: EWEA increased its 2020 target from 180 GW to 230 GW (incl. 40 GW offshore)

New EWEA Target for the European Union
• 230 GW wind power in 2020(including 40 GW offshore)
• 600 TWh per year by 2020• 14–18 % of EU Electricity Demand
Requires app. €200 bn in non-R&D investments in
2009-2020(€125 bn onshore / €75 bn
offshore)
Three Major Global Challenges• Energy crisis and sustained high fuel prices• Environmental crisis (IPCC: 25-40% CO2 reduction)• Financial crisis
And three major European Challenges:• App. 350 GW of new electricity generating capacity
must be constructed before 2020 (50% of current total)
• Increasing energy imports at higher cost• Ineffective competition in EU power market and
insufficient investment in power infrastructure
