2012 annual installations

Wind power capacity installations

During2012,12,416MWofwindpowerwasinstalled

across Europe, of which 11,566 MW was in the

European Union.

Ofthe 11,566 MWinstalledin theEU,10,399MW

wasonshoreand1,166MWoffshore.Investmentin

EUwindfarmswasbetween12.8bnand17.2bn.

Onshore wind farms attracted 9.4bn to 12.5bn,

while offshore wind farms accounted for 3.4bn to

4.7bn.

In terms of annual installations, Germany was the

largestmarketin2012,installing2,440MWofnew

capacity, 80 MW of which (3.3%) offshore. The UK

came insecond with 1,897MW, 854 MWof which

(45%)offshore,followedbyItalywith1,273MW,Spain

(1,122MW),Romania(923MW),Poland(880MW),

Sweden(845MW)andFrance(404MW).

AmongtheemergingmarketsofCentralandEastern

Europe,Romaniaand Poland bothhad record years

- bothinstalling around 8% of theEUs total annual

using average capacity actors onshore and oshore

and Eurostat electricity consumption fgures (2010).

Consequently, Figure 3.6 indicates approximate share o

consumption met by the installed wind energy capacity

at end 2012. The Figure does not represent real wind

energy production and electricity consumption data over

a calendar year. Consequently real national fgures or

any given year can vary. For example, according to the

Portuguese TSO (REN), wind energy met over 19% o

total consumption during 2012.

Despite the growth of annual wind energy installations

in 2012 and cumulative capacity almost reaching

106 GW, wind energy deployment is lagging behind

theobjectivestheEUMemberStatessetthemselves

in their National Renewable Energy Action Plans

(NREAPs)(4). Comparison with the NREAPs does not

takeintoaccountanysubsequentchangestotargets.

Interestingly,installations in 2012 were higher than

EWEAsexpectations.

Wind power targets

In2009,theEWEApublishedagrowthscenario(5) that

expectedcumulativecapacityintheEUtobe103GW

attheendof2012.However,EWEAsscenarioreaches

230 GWof installed wind energycapacity in 2020,

whereas the sum of the Member States NREAPs

is 213GW.The latter suggeststhat whereas EWEA

took a gradual approach with annual installations

increasing slowly at the beginning and more rapidly

towards 2020, the Member States, on the whole,

front-loadedtheirtrajectories.
