Spain Blows Away Monthly Wind Energy Record
This February, a record 21.7 percent of Spain’s electricity came from wind power. The 4,890 gigawatt-hours of electricity generated from wind made it the country’s third-largest source of energy in the month, after coal and nuclear power plants, according to Red Eléctrica de España (REE).
Although Spain has poured signficant money, in the form of feed-in tariffs, into solar power development, Europe has been experiencing a severely cold winter, where wind power can thrive. By using its wind turbines instead of fossil fuels to supply electricity, Spanish electricity prices fell to €51/MWh during the first two weeks of February while in neighboring France electricity cost €105/MWh. During that time, wind provided a whopping 28.9 percent of Spain’s electricity.

Global Wind Energy Installed Capacity to Reach 1,062 Thousand Megawatts by 2017, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on the wind energy markets. The global installed capacity of wind energy is forecast to reach 1,062 thousand megawatt by the year 2017. Major factors driving growth in the global wind energy market include depleting natural resources, volatile crude oil prices, concerns on climate change, and rising demand for energy worldwide. Growth in the global market would be led by developing regions, primarily Asia-Pacific, with China and India increasingly becoming power hungry, driven by the rising energy needs in these countries in tandem with the increasing economic growth. The uncertainty and unrest in the energy sector, rapidly depleting natural resources, together with the political pressures and environmental issues, are shedding the light on the rapidly evolving role of clean technologies, such as wind power.
