Wind Energy in EU-27 status 2008

• 65 GW installed capacity, incl. 1.47 GW offshore
• Annual installations of 8.5 GW (43 of total),
  incl. 0.35 GW offshore
• Electricity production of 142 TWh
• Meeting 4.2 of total EU electricity demand
• Providing power equivalent to the needs of 35
  million average EU households
• Avoiding 108 Mt of CO2 equivalent to taking
  more than 50 million cars off the road (20 of
  the EU car fleet) and equal to 31 of the EU-15s
  Kyoto obligation
• Annual avoided fuel cost of 5.4 billion
• Annual avoided CO2 costs of approximately 2.4
  billion
• Annual investments in wind turbines of 11
  billion

How Much Renewable Electricity? How Much Wind
Power?

• 20 Renewable Energy by 2020 requires
• 35 electricity from RES
• 25 heating from RES
• 10 biofuels from RES
• Electricity 2005 15 incl. 10 large hydro and
  3 wind
• Excluding large hydro the share of renewable
  electricity must increase from 5 to app. 25, in
  15 years depending on power demand

New EWEA Target for the European Union

• 230 GW wind power in 2020(including 40 GW
  offshore)
• 600 TWh per year by 2020
• 1418 of EU Electricity Demand

• Requires app. 200 bn in non-RD investments in
  2009-2020
• (125 bn onshore / 75 bn offshore)

Electricity Generating Cost in the EU, 2015 and
2030
15

• Three Major Global Challenges
• Energy crisis and sustained high fuel prices
• Environmental crisis (IPCC 25-40 CO2 reduction)
• Financial crisis
• And three major European Challenges
• App. 350 GW of new electricity generating
  capacity must be constructed before 2020 (50 of
  current total)
• Increasing energy imports at higher cost
• Ineffective competition in EU power market and
  insufficient investment in power infrastructure
