Global cumulative wind power capacity 1990-2007 (MW)100 GW and counting
EWEA has identified proposals for over 100 GW of offshore wind projects in European waters:
• This would meet 10% of EU electricity demand• This would avoid 200Mt of CO² annually
•100+ GW shows the significant level of developer interest
EWEA prediction:40 GW by 2020150 GW by 2030
