Top Five Countries in Terms of Installed Capacity in 2007

1. Germany (22.3GW) – the Germany Wind Energy Association says that by 2020 the overall German onshore capacity could be at 45,000MW with an additional 10,000MW offshore;

2. U.S. (16.8GW) – as of the Q3, 2008, the U.S. had 21GW installed capacity with another 8.3GW under construction, and the U.S. is expected to overtake Germany as the leading wind energy country by the end of 2009;

3. Spain (15.1GW) – The Spanish Wind Energy Association estimates that 40,000MW of onshore and 5,000MW of offshore capacity could be operating by 2020;

4. India (7.8GW) – as of the Q3, 2008, India had about 9.7GW installed capacity and has targeted 11,000MW of capacity by 2012; and

5. China (5.9GW) – China’s target capacity for 2010 is 10,000MW, but it is estimated to be on track to reach this target by early 2009, and it may reach 20,000MW by 2010 instead. Its installed base of wind power may reach a total of 100MW.

With growth like this, it is surprising to see that wind energy companies have posted an average 59% decline year-to-date in the stock markets.
