Taiwan’s wind power installation capacity is expected to surge to 3,000 megawatts by 2020.

Energy researchers in the country are in agreement with the government that wind power should be the most important renewable energy.

The country’s wind power capacity should be larger than that of the United States, which is currently the world’s largest country in terms of wind power installations.

It is expected growth in the American wind power sector may slow next year as a result of the acute economic downturn, as most wind power stations in the US are built and operated by private companies.

NOW Ireland, the National Offshore Wind Association of Ireland has welcomed the publication and called on national governments to set targets for offshore wind and to take the necessary actions to achieve those targets.
The EU report highlights the advantages of offshore wind in terms of scale, generating capability and ability to deliver on the EU wide targets for renewable energy.
