Article Abstract:
New estimates by EWEA, the European Wind Energy Association, shows that the expansion of wind power in Europe is likely to be even stronger than previously anticipated. By 2010, production capacity might total 75,000 MW, and by 2020 200,000 MW, deputy chairman Arthorous Zervos said at the opening of the wind energy conference EWEC in Copenhagen on 2 July. He said EWEA has not yet officially upgraded the forecast, but a new EU directive, which is expected to be settled by the European Parliament on 4 July, is likely to make the investments boom.
