Global Wind Energy Council - Latin America new wind capacity - 0 views

  • Latin America: new wind capacity in five countries
  • The Latin American market seems to be waking up to the opportunity of its enormous wind power potential. While growth in 2010 was still small in absolute terms, with 703 MW installed across the continent, this represented a 50% increase in total installed capacity. In addition, the pipeline for new developments is substantial
  • In 2010, Mexico’s installed wind capacity more than doubled for the second year in a row, with 316 MW of new capacity added to the existing 202 MW operating at the end of 2009. The total installed wind power capacity now amounts to 519 MW. Nearly all the wind projects operating in Mexico are located in Oaxaca (six projects with a capacity of 508 MW), and a further 19 projects are in the pipeline in this region. Other promising regions with good wind potential include Baja California and the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Two renewable energy auctions took place in Brazil in 2010, contracting more than 2,000 MW worth of new wind power capacity. Together with the 1,800 MW of the 2009 auction and new auctions announced for June 2011, this makes for a very healthy pipeline for the coming years

Wind now leads EU power sector :: PNN Planet2025 News Network - 1 views

  • 43% of all new electricity generating capacity built in the European Union last year was wind energy, exceeding all other technologies including gas, coal and nuclear power.
  • 20 wind turbines were installed for every working day of 2008. By the end of the year, a total of 160,000 workers were employed directly and indirectly in the sector, which saw investments of about €11 billion in the EU
  • Wind energy is an example of an intelligent investment that puts EU citizens’ money to work in their own economies rather than transferring it to a handful of fuel-exporting nations
