World Council of Wind Energy (GWEC), based in Brussels.
In more detail, the installed wind power reached 432,42 Gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2015, an increase of 17 percent compared with 2014, and surpassed nuclear energy.
2015 were installed wind turbines with a total power of 63,01 Gigawatts of power, which corresponds to 60 nuclear reactors.
According to the World Association of Nuclear Power (WNA) nuclear power around the world amounted to 382,55 GW at the beginning of 2016.
Both the wind and nuclear energy are power generation sources zero emissions that can replace polluting fossil fuels, and to contribute to the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases and halt climate change.
The largest wind power hosts China with 145,10 GW. The following are the united states,(74,47 GW), Germany (44,95 GW), India (25,09 GW) and Spain (23,03 GW).
China 2015 installed and connected to the network 30,5 wind Gigawatts of 63 Gigawatts connected all over the planet 63.
Thus, the China υποσκÎλισε in installed wind power in the European Union, which hosts 141,6 Gigawatts, with just six Gigawatts in 2015.
“The weighted average cost (LCOE) of wind power has decreased dramatically in the last few years. The increased efficiency of the turbines combined with the reduced cost of manufacturing them have made wind energy a competitive source of power generation in comparison with the conventional,” says the director of strategy of Alliant Energy, David Engels.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the RES can become the number one source of electricity generation by 2040. Last week, the China, the first consumer of coal in the world, announced that it will seal to 1,000 coal mines by the end of the year.
