In December, wind power provided the country of Denmark with about 55% of its electricity. This is the first time that the wind-leading country (or any major country) has received over 50% of its electricity from wind power in an entire month. Of course, wind power provided well over 55% … [continued]
Following up on my “Top Wind Power Countries In The World Per Capita” rankings and article, below are “Top Wind Power Countries In The World Per GDP” rankings for total installed wind power at the end of 2012 as well as newly installed wind power during the year 2012. Top … [continued]
The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) recently published its final update of 2012 global wind power installation numbers. As such, I am now able to update my “Top Wind Power Countries” lists. If you’ve been a CleanTechnica reader for awhile, you know that I’m all about looking at relative rankings … [continued]
The big wind news of the past year that we keep trumpeting is that US wind power accounted for more new US power capacity in 2012 than coal (which actually declined), natural gas, nuclear, solar, or anything else. It made up 42% of new power capacity additions in the US last … [continued]
The Danish Energy Agency announced earlier this week that consumption of renewable energy had increased in 2011 by 2.5% thanks in part to a big push in wind-power production. Based on the European Union method of calculation, Denmark saw renewable energy account for 23.6% of energy consumption in 2011, at … [continued]
“So, you end up respecting everybody.” This is what came of Mr. Rich Vanderveen’s ability to get Gratiot’s residents to trust his company, Wind Resource LLC, work which required a slow (yet simple) process: talking to lots of people. This is the largest wind facility in Michigan. Perhaps Vanderveen’s focus on respect … [continued]
After already generating a massive 26 percent of its energy requirements from wind power, Denmark is increasing its commitment to a greener future by planning to produce 50 percent of its electricity generation from wind power by 2020. This comes as part of the country’s plans to phase out … [continued]
Closing out this series (I think), below are the top countries in the world* for wind power capacity relative to electricity production**. In other words, these are the countries that have the most wind power compared to their electricity production. This post follows posts on top wind power countries … [continued]
Following up on my post yesterday presenting the top countries in the world for total installed wind power (end of 2011) and newly installed wind power (2011) per capita, below are charts and lists on the top countries* in the world for total installed wind power per GDP and … [continued]
What are the top countries in the world for wind power, per capita? Take a look below! I’ve been meaning to get to this for awhile, but hopefully that means the data have just gotten better since I first intended to put this together. The Global Wind Energy Council … [continued]
