The US industrial giant was the clear number one in the market, ahead of Siemens with 2.64GW and Vestas with 1.8GW.

China’s Goldwind was knocking on the door of the top 10 with 155MW, just behind 10th-placed Suzlon.

The turbines makers shared a record 13.13GW of capacity additions last year, up from 6.68GW in 2011, as wind blew past gas to become the nation’s largest new source of power.
