These and many other figures on the wind energy market have just been published in the 4th edition of the World Wind Energy Association's international yearbook, Wind Energy International 2011/2012.
The book is a culmination of reports from experts around the world and includes updated and complete information on the worldwide status of wind energy through 76 country reports describing the wind energy situation in almost 100 countries on all continents. Authors from these countries have provided first-hand information in a comprehensive format.
“With the accelerating switch of the worldwide energy system towards more renewable energy, in particular wind power, Wind Energy International 2011/2012 will be even more critical for policy-makers, business people, and parties involved in the energy sector,” says WWEA on its website. “Best practices from around the world have been carefully analysed and presented in the yearbook. These include successful feed-in tariff, community power, financing developments that support the widespread diffusion of wind energy.”
In addition, the yearbook also incorporates 32 special reports detailing policies, industrial trends, financing, grid integration, offshore, small wind systems, community power, education, training & capacity building.
WWEA is an international non-profit association embracing the wind sector worldwide, with members in 100 countries. The association advises and influences national governments and international organisations, enhances international technology transfer, and provides a platform for the communication of all wind energy actors worldwide. Going on these latest data, it certainly seems that its efforts are not in vain.
