Wind Energy Onshore - commercial, community, micro Offshore - commercial 5

EU Wind Energy at the end of 2013 Now GW of installed wind energy capacity in the EU: GW onshore and 6.6 GW offshore. 11,159 MW of capacity (worth between €13 bn and €18 bn) was installed in the EU-28 during 2013, a decrease of 8% compared to 2012 installations. EU power sector continues to move away from fuel oil and coal, with each technology continuing to decommission more than it installs. Wind power capacity installed by the end of 2013 would, in a normal wind year, produce 257 TWh of electricity, enough to cover 8% of EU consumption – up from 7% at end

Future EU Wind Energy By 2020, EU wind power capacity of 230 GW, 190 GW onshore and 40 GW offshore. By 2030, EU wind power capacity of 400 GW, 250 GW onshore and 150 GW offshore. Total output of 581 TWh (15.7%) by 2020, TWh (28.5%) by 2030 of consumption. Wind sector jobs up from 190,000 to 462,000 by 2020 and 480,000 by
