We begin 2017 with some encouraging storylines and numbers. The total new wind installations for 2016 across Europe came out at 12.5GW, only slightly down on 2015. That brings the EU’s total capacity to 153.7 GW, with 10.9 GW added onshore and 1.6GW offshore.
At the same time investment decisions in new wind farms totalled a record €27.5bn ($29.4bn) largely driven by offshore wind at €18bn.
