  • In 2012, wind power grew by 20 per cent

    2012 was a very important year for wind power: the Ansa press agency reported that its use has increased by 20 percent, reaching 282.5 GW. The statistics of the Global Wind Energy Council confirm that globally there are more than 45 GW compared to 2011. Regarding Europe, it should be reported a growth in Sweden, Romania, Poland and Italy, which has installed 1.3 GW in 2012, reaching 8.1 GW. In this way Italy is ranked sixth in the world with 2.9% of global production.

  • The Eastern Europe chooses the wind power

    An Ewea study explains how the nations of Eastern Europe are focusing on wind energy: they will be the subjects that will boost the sector. The news is reported by the ANSA agency: the goal of these countries is to reach the power of 16 GW in 2020 compared to the current 6.4 GW. In this way the wind power will provide electricity to 9 million households.
    The challenge regards the legislation, especially in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Bulgaria, while Poland and Romania have doubled in a year the wind energy potential.
