- 176 GW of new installations in the rst half of 2014 after 14 GW in 2013- Worldwide wind capacity has reached 336 GW 360 GW expected for full year- Asia overtakes Europe as leading wind continent - China close to 100 GW of installed capacity- Newcomer Brazil third largest market for new wind turbines- 360 GW expected by end of 2014
The worldwide wind capacity reached 336rsquo327 MW by the end of June 2014 out of which 17rsquo613 MW were added in the rst six months of 2014 This increase is a substantially higher than in the rst half of 2013 and 2012 when 139 GW and 164 GW were added respectively The total worldwide installed wind capacity by mid-2014 will generate around 4 of the worldrsquos electricity demand The global wind capacity grew by 55 within six months (after 5 in the same period in 2013 and 73 in 2012) and by 135 on an annual basis (mid-2014 compared with mid-2013) In comparison the annual growth rate in 2013 was lower at 128 Reasons for the relatively positive development of the worldwide wind markets certainly include the economic advantages of wind power and its increasing competitiveness relative to other sources of electricity as well as the pressing need to implement emission free technologies in order to mitigate climate change and air pollution
Top Wind Markets 2014 China Germany Brazil India and USAThe ve traditional wind countries- China USA Germany
Spain and India- still collectively represent a 72 share of the global wind capacity In terms of newly added capacity the share of the Big Five has increased from 57 to 62 The Chinese market showed a very strong performance and added 71 GW substantially more than in the preceding years China reached a total wind capacity of 98 GW in June 2014 and has undoubtedly by now crossed the 100 GW mark Germany performed strongly as well adding 18 GW within the rst half year This new record no doubt comes partly in anticipation of changes in the renewable energy legislation which may lead to a slow-down of the German market in the coming years For the rst time Brazil has entered the top group by becoming the third largest market for new wind turbines with 13 GW of new capacity representing 7 of all new wind turbine sales With this Brazil has been able to extend its undisputed leadership in Latin America India kept clearly its position as Asian number two and worldwide number ve with 11 GW of new wind capacity The US market after its eective collapse in 2013 has shown strong signs of recovery with a market size of 835 MW slightly ahead of Canada (723 MW) Australia (699
MW) and the United Kingdom which halved its market size and installed 649 MW in the rst half of 2014 The Spanish market however has not contributed to the overall growth in 2014 as it has come to a virtual standstill with only 01 MW of new installations in the rst half of 2014 As was the case in 2013 four countries installed more than 1 GW each in the rst half of 2014 China (71 GW of new capacity) Germany (18 GW) Brazil (13 GW) and India (11 GW) The top ten wind countries show a similar picture in the rst half of 2014 although on a slightly higher performance basis Five countries performed stronger than in 2013 China USA Germany France and Canada Five countries saw a decreasing market Spain UK Italy Denmark and to a lesser degree India Spain and Italy saw practically a total standstill with only 01 MW and 30 MW respectively of new capacity installed Poland is now in the list of top 15 countries by installed capacity while Japan dropped out
Dynamic Markets to be found on all ContinentsIt is important to note that for the rst time the most dynamic markets are found on all continents the ten largest markets for new wind turbines included next to China India and Germany included Brazil (1rsquo301 MW) USA (835 MW) Canada (723 MW) Australia (699 MW) UK (649 MW) Sweden (354 MW) and Poland (337 MW) New wind farms have also been installed in South Africa and further African countries so that this continent
has obviously entered the race to catch up with the rest of the world
Asia The new leader on total installed capacityWith 369 of the global installed capacity Asia is now the continent with the most wind energy installated suspassing Europe which accounts for 367 Again in 2014 China has been by far the largest single wind market adding 71 GW in six months this is signicantly more than the same period of the previous year when 55 GW were erected China accounted for 41 of the world market for new wind turbines By June 2013 China had an overall installed capacity of 986 GW almost reaching the 100 GW mark India added 11 GW a bit less than in the rst half of 2013 However considering new and ambitious plans of the new Indian government the Indian wind market has very positive prospects Two other important markets in Japan and Korea are still growing at very modest rates of less than 2 in the rst half of 2014 Unfortunately in both countries the nuclear lobby has still managed to prevent the breakthrough for wind power despite the clear economic and industrial advantages
EuropeGermany is still the unchallenged number one wind market in Europe with a new capacity of 18 GW bringing it to a total of 365 GW UK (649 MW new) Sweden (354 MW new) and France (338 MW new) belong to the ve biggest
European markets as well while Spain and Italy saw dramatic declines in new capacity installed to almost zero The future of wind power in the Europe will also depend on decisions by the European Union regarding renewable energy targets for 2030 It is worth noting that the current crisis around Ukraine is in fact strengthening the case of renewable energy proponents as it suggests that the European countries should increase their energy autonomy through the increased use of domestic renewable energy sources rather than relying on imported fossil fuels
North AmericaThe US market has recovered from the dramatic slump in the rst half of 2013 adding 835 MW between January and June 2014 compared to 16 MW in the same period last year It is expected that due to the improved competitiveness of wind power and its
increasing support the market will further recover in the second half of 2014 and continue in 2015Canada installed 723 MW during the rst half of 2014 92 more than in the same period of 2013 and has become the sixth largest market for new wind turbines worldwide The victory of the pro-renewables proponents in the elections in the key province of Ontario gives hope that this positive tendency will continue in spite of rather negative signals at the federal level
Latin AmericaThe biggest Latin American market Brazil has become the 13th largest wind power user worldwide after installing 13 GW in the rst half of 2014 and reaching a total capacity of 47 GW With a most impressive growth rate of 382 during the rst half of 2014 the country has become the third largest market for new wind turbines after China and Germany and ahead of the US and India Brazil is expected to reach the 5 GW mark by September 2014 and to enter the list of top 10 countries with more installed capacity by the end of 2014 Other Latin American countries are emerging as wind markets as well though at a much more modest level
OceaniaPositive developments happened in Australia where an additional 699 MW was installed representing a 23 growth in comparison with end of 2013 similar to the rate of growth in 2011 and 2012 However due to the most recent and very dramatic switch of the new Australian government it has to be expected that this boom will not continue in the near future No new wind farms have been registered in New Zealand
Worldwide prospects for end of the year 2014 and beyondIn the second half of 2014 it is expected that an additional
capacity of 24 GW will be erected worldwide which would bring new installations for the year to 41 GW The total installed wind capacity is expected to reach 360 GW by the end of 2014 which is enough to provide some 4 of the global electricity demand The mid-term prospects for wind power investment remain positive Although it is not clear whether the world community will be able to reach a strong climate agreement in 2015 wind has now reached a level of competitiveness and reliability which makes it a natural option for governments electricity producers and consumers around the world

Stefan Gsaumlnger WWEA Secretary General ldquoIt is encouraging to see that the world market for wind energy has gained new momentum in 2014 This is mainly due to the very positive development in several emerg-ing economies such as China Brazil or India However the stagnation or even slowdown of many OECD markets is a major matter of concern If these countries do not intensify their eorts in wind power deployment they may not only loose their technological leadership but also miss their renewable energy targets In this light it is important to see that citizens are getting more and more the active and driving forces of a rapid switch towards renewablesrdquo

European markets as well while Spain and Italy saw dramatic declines in new capacity installed to almost zero The future of wind power in the Europe will also depend on decisions by the European Union regarding renewable energy targets for 2030 It is worth noting that the current crisis around Ukraine is in fact strengthening the case of renewable energy proponents as it suggests that the European countries should increase their energy autonomy through the increased use of domestic renewable energy sources rather than relying on imported fossil fuels
North AmericaThe US market has recovered from the dramatic slump in the rst half of 2013 adding 835 MW between January and June 2014 compared to 16 MW in the same period last year It is expected that due to the improved competitiveness of wind power and its
increasing support the market will further recover in the second half of 2014 and continue in 2015Canada installed 723 MW during the rst half of 2014 92 more than in the same period of 2013 and has become the sixth largest market for new wind turbines worldwide The victory of the pro-renewables proponents in the elections in the key province of Ontario gives hope that this positive tendency will continue in spite of rather negative signals at the federal level
Latin AmericaThe biggest Latin American market Brazil has become the 13th largest wind power user worldwide after installing 13 GW in the rst half of 2014 and reaching a total capacity of 47 GW With a most impressive growth rate of 382 during the rst half of 2014 the country has become the third largest market for new wind turbines after China and Germany and ahead of the US and India Brazil is expected to reach the 5 GW mark by September 2014 and to enter the list of top 10 countries with more installed capacity by the end of 2014 Other Latin American countries are emerging as wind markets as well though at a much more modest level
OceaniaPositive developments happened in Australia where an additional 699 MW was installed representing a 23 growth in comparison with end of 2013 similar to the rate of growth in 2011 and 2012 However due to the most recent and very dramatic switch of the new Australian government it has to be expected that this boom will not continue in the near future No new wind farms have been registered in New Zealand
Worldwide prospects for end of the year 2014 and beyondIn the second half of 2014 it is expected that an additional
capacity of 24 GW will be erected worldwide which would bring new installations for the year to 41 GW The total installed wind capacity is expected to reach 360 GW by the end of 2014 which is enough to provide some 4 of the global electricity demand The mid-term prospects for wind power investment remain positive Although it is not clear whether the world community will be able to reach a strong climate agreement in 2015 wind has now reached a level of competitiveness and reliability which makes it a natural option for governments electricity producers and consumers around the world

2014
- 176 GW of new installations in the rst half of 2014 after 14 GW in 2013- Worldwide wind capacity has reached 336 GW 360 GW expected for full year- Asia overtakes Europe as leading wind continent - China close to 100 GW of installed capacity- Newcomer Brazil third largest market for new wind turbines- 360 GW expected by end of 2014
The worldwide wind capacity reached 336rsquo327 MW by the end of June 2014 out of which 17rsquo613 MW were added in the rst six months of 2014 This increase is a substantially higher than in the rst half of 2013 and 2012 when 139 GW and 164 GW were added respectively The total worldwide installed wind capacity by mid-2014 will generate around 4 of the worldrsquos electricity demand The global wind capacity grew by 55 within six months (after 5 in the same period in 2013 and 73 in 2012) and by 135 on an annual basis (mid-2014 compared with mid-2013) In comparison the annual growth rate in 2013 was lower at 128 Reasons for the relatively positive development of the worldwide wind markets certainly include the economic advantages of wind power and its increasing competitiveness relative to other sources of electricity as well as the pressing need to implement emission free technologies in order to mitigate climate change and air pollution
Top Wind Markets 2014 China Germany Brazil India and USAThe ve traditional wind countries- China USA Germany
Spain and India- still collectively represent a 72 share of the global wind capacity In terms of newly added capacity the share of the Big Five has increased from 57 to 62 The Chinese market showed a very strong performance and added 71 GW substantially more than in the preceding years China reached a total wind capacity of 98 GW in June 2014 and has undoubtedly by now crossed the 100 GW mark Germany performed strongly as well adding 18 GW within the rst half year This new record no doubt comes partly in anticipation of changes in the renewable energy legislation which may lead to a slow-down of the German market in the coming years For the rst time Brazil has entered the top group by becoming the third largest market for new wind turbines with 13 GW of new capacity representing 7 of all new wind turbine sales With this Brazil has been able to extend its undisputed leadership in Latin America India kept clearly its position as Asian number two and worldwide number ve with 11 GW of new wind capacity The US market after its eective collapse in 2013 has shown strong signs of recovery with a market size of 835 MW slightly ahead of Canada (723 MW) Australia (699
MW) and the United Kingdom which halved its market size and installed 649 MW in the rst half of 2014 The Spanish market however has not contributed to the overall growth in 2014 as it has come to a virtual standstill with only 01 MW of new installations in the rst half of 2014 As was the case in 2013 four countries installed more than 1 GW each in the rst half of 2014 China (71 GW of new capacity) Germany (18 GW) Brazil (13 GW) and India (11 GW) The top ten wind countries show a similar picture in the rst half of 2014 although on a slightly higher performance basis Five countries performed stronger than in 2013 China USA Germany France and Canada Five countries saw a decreasing market Spain UK Italy Denmark and to a lesser degree India Spain and Italy saw practically a total standstill with only 01 MW and 30 MW respectively of new capacity installed Poland is now in the list of top 15 countries by installed capacity while Japan dropped out
Dynamic Markets to be found on all ContinentsIt is important to note that for the rst time the most dynamic markets are found on all continents the ten largest markets for new wind turbines included next to China India and Germany included Brazil (1rsquo301 MW) USA (835 MW) Canada (723 MW) Australia (699 MW) UK (649 MW) Sweden (354 MW) and Poland (337 MW) New wind farms have also been installed in South Africa and further African countries so that this continent
has obviously entered the race to catch up with the rest of the world
Asia The new leader on total installed capacityWith 369 of the global installed capacity Asia is now the continent with the most wind energy installated suspassing Europe which accounts for 367 Again in 2014 China has been by far the largest single wind market adding 71 GW in six months this is signicantly more than the same period of the previous year when 55 GW were erected China accounted for 41 of the world market for new wind turbines By June 2013 China had an overall installed capacity of 986 GW almost reaching the 100 GW mark India added 11 GW a bit less than in the rst half of 2013 However considering new and ambitious plans of the new Indian government the Indian wind market has very positive prospects Two other important markets in Japan and Korea are still growing at very modest rates of less than 2 in the rst half of 2014 Unfortunately in both countries the nuclear lobby has still managed to prevent the breakthrough for wind power despite the clear economic and industrial advantages
EuropeGermany is still the unchallenged number one wind market in Europe with a new capacity of 18 GW bringing it to a total of 365 GW UK (649 MW new) Sweden (354 MW new) and France (338 MW new) belong to the ve biggest
European markets as well while Spain and Italy saw dramatic declines in new capacity installed to almost zero The future of wind power in the Europe will also depend on decisions by the European Union regarding renewable energy targets for 2030 It is worth noting that the current crisis around Ukraine is in fact strengthening the case of renewable energy proponents as it suggests that the European countries should increase their energy autonomy through the increased use of domestic renewable energy sources rather than relying on imported fossil fuels
North AmericaThe US market has recovered from the dramatic slump in the rst half of 2013 adding 835 MW between January and June 2014 compared to 16 MW in the same period last year It is expected that due to the improved competitiveness of wind power and its
increasing support the market will further recover in the second half of 2014 and continue in 2015Canada installed 723 MW during the rst half of 2014 92 more than in the same period of 2013 and has become the sixth largest market for new wind turbines worldwide The victory of the pro-renewables proponents in the elections in the key province of Ontario gives hope that this positive tendency will continue in spite of rather negative signals at the federal level
Latin AmericaThe biggest Latin American market Brazil has become the 13th largest wind power user worldwide after installing 13 GW in the rst half of 2014 and reaching a total capacity of 47 GW With a most impressive growth rate of 382 during the rst half of 2014 the country has become the third largest market for new wind turbines after China and Germany and ahead of the US and India Brazil is expected to reach the 5 GW mark by September 2014 and to enter the list of top 10 countries with more installed capacity by the end of 2014 Other Latin American countries are emerging as wind markets as well though at a much more modest level
OceaniaPositive developments happened in Australia where an additional 699 MW was installed representing a 23 growth in comparison with end of 2013 similar to the rate of growth in 2011 and 2012 However due to the most recent and very dramatic switch of the new Australian government it has to be expected that this boom will not continue in the near future No new wind farms have been registered in New Zealand
Worldwide prospects for end of the year 2014 and beyondIn the second half of 2014 it is expected that an additional
capacity of 24 GW will be erected worldwide which would bring new installations for the year to 41 GW The total installed wind capacity is expected to reach 360 GW by the end of 2014 which is enough to provide some 4 of the global electricity demand The mid-term prospects for wind power investment remain positive Although it is not clear whether the world community will be able to reach a strong climate agreement in 2015 wind has now reached a level of competitiveness and reliability which makes it a natural option for governments electricity producers and consumers around the world

copy WWEA 2014
The worldwide wind capacity reached 336rsquo327 MW by the end of June 2014 out of which 17rsquo613 MW were added in the rst six months of 2014 This increase is a substantially higher than in the rst half of 2013 and 2012 when 139 GW and 164 GW were added respectively The total worldwide installed wind capacity by mid-2014 will generate around 4 of the worldrsquos electricity demand The global wind capacity grew by 55 within six months (after 5 in the same period in 2013 and 73 in 2012) and by 135 on an annual basis (mid-2014 compared with mid-2013) In comparison the annual growth rate in 2013 was lower at 128 Reasons for the relatively positive development of the worldwide wind markets certainly include the economic advantages of wind power and its increasing competitiveness relative to other sources of electricity as well as the pressing need to implement emission free technologies in order to mitigate climate change and air pollution
Top Wind Markets 2014 China Germany Brazil India and USAThe ve traditional wind countries- China USA Germany
Spain and India- still collectively represent a 72 share of the global wind capacity In terms of newly added capacity the share of the Big Five has increased from 57 to 62 The Chinese market showed a very strong performance and added 71 GW substantially more than in the preceding years China reached a total wind capacity of 98 GW in June 2014 and has undoubtedly by now crossed the 100 GW mark Germany performed strongly as well adding 18 GW within the rst half year This new record no doubt comes partly in anticipation of changes in the renewable energy legislation which may lead to a slow-down of the German market in the coming years For the rst time Brazil has entered the top group by becoming the third largest market for new wind turbines with 13 GW of new capacity representing 7 of all new wind turbine sales With this Brazil has been able to extend its undisputed leadership in Latin America India kept clearly its position as Asian number two and worldwide number ve with 11 GW of new wind capacity The US market after its eective collapse in 2013 has shown strong signs of recovery with a market size of 835 MW slightly ahead of Canada (723 MW) Australia (699
MW) and the United Kingdom which halved its market size and installed 649 MW in the rst half of 2014 The Spanish market however has not contributed to the overall growth in 2014 as it has come to a virtual standstill with only 01 MW of new installations in the rst half of 2014 As was the case in 2013 four countries installed more than 1 GW each in the rst half of 2014 China (71 GW of new capacity) Germany (18 GW) Brazil (13 GW) and India (11 GW) The top ten wind countries show a similar picture in the rst half of 2014 although on a slightly higher performance basis Five countries performed stronger than in 2013 China USA Germany France and Canada Five countries saw a decreasing market Spain UK Italy Denmark and to a lesser degree India Spain and Italy saw practically a total standstill with only 01 MW and 30 MW respectively of new capacity installed Poland is now in the list of top 15 countries by installed capacity while Japan dropped out
Dynamic Markets to be found on all ContinentsIt is important to note that for the rst time the most dynamic markets are found on all continents the ten largest markets for new wind turbines included next to China India and Germany included Brazil (1rsquo301 MW) USA (835 MW) Canada (723 MW) Australia (699 MW) UK (649 MW) Sweden (354 MW) and Poland (337 MW) New wind farms have also been installed in South Africa and further African countries so that this continent
has obviously entered the race to catch up with the rest of the world
Asia The new leader on total installed capacityWith 369 of the global installed capacity Asia is now the continent with the most wind energy installated suspassing Europe which accounts for 367 Again in 2014 China has been by far the largest single wind market adding 71 GW in six months this is signicantly more than the same period of the previous year when 55 GW were erected China accounted for 41 of the world market for new wind turbines By June 2013 China had an overall installed capacity of 986 GW almost reaching the 100 GW mark India added 11 GW a bit less than in the rst half of 2013 However considering new and ambitious plans of the new Indian government the Indian wind market has very positive prospects Two other important markets in Japan and Korea are still growing at very modest rates of less than 2 in the rst half of 2014 Unfortunately in both countries the nuclear lobby has still managed to prevent the breakthrough for wind power despite the clear economic and industrial advantages
EuropeGermany is still the unchallenged number one wind market in Europe with a new capacity of 18 GW bringing it to a total of 365 GW UK (649 MW new) Sweden (354 MW new) and France (338 MW new) belong to the ve biggest
European markets as well while Spain and Italy saw dramatic declines in new capacity installed to almost zero The future of wind power in the Europe will also depend on decisions by the European Union regarding renewable energy targets for 2030 It is worth noting that the current crisis around Ukraine is in fact strengthening the case of renewable energy proponents as it suggests that the European countries should increase their energy autonomy through the increased use of domestic renewable energy sources rather than relying on imported fossil fuels
North AmericaThe US market has recovered from the dramatic slump in the rst half of 2013 adding 835 MW between January and June 2014 compared to 16 MW in the same period last year It is expected that due to the improved competitiveness of wind power and its
increasing support the market will further recover in the second half of 2014 and continue in 2015Canada installed 723 MW during the rst half of 2014 92 more than in the same period of 2013 and has become the sixth largest market for new wind turbines worldwide The victory of the pro-renewables proponents in the elections in the key province of Ontario gives hope that this positive tendency will continue in spite of rather negative signals at the federal level
Latin AmericaThe biggest Latin American market Brazil has become the 13th largest wind power user worldwide after installing 13 GW in the rst half of 2014 and reaching a total capacity of 47 GW With a most impressive growth rate of 382 during the rst half of 2014 the country has become the third largest market for new wind turbines after China and Germany and ahead of the US and India Brazil is expected to reach the 5 GW mark by September 2014 and to enter the list of top 10 countries with more installed capacity by the end of 2014 Other Latin American countries are emerging as wind markets as well though at a much more modest level
OceaniaPositive developments happened in Australia where an additional 699 MW was installed representing a 23 growth in comparison with end of 2013 similar to the rate of growth in 2011 and 2012 However due to the most recent and very dramatic switch of the new Australian government it has to be expected that this boom will not continue in the near future No new wind farms have been registered in New Zealand

Stefan Gsaumlnger WWEA Secretary General ldquoIt is encouraging to see that the world market for wind energy has gained new momentum in 2014 This is mainly due to the very positive development in several emerg-ing economies such as China Brazil or India However the stagnation or even slowdown of many OECD markets is a major matter of concern If these countries do not intensify their eorts in wind power deployment they may not only loose their technological leadership but also miss their renewable energy targets In this light it is important to see that citizens are getting more and more the active and driving forces of a rapid switch towards renewablesrdquo

2014 HALF-YEAR REPORT
copy WWEA 2014
The worldwide wind capacity reached 336rsquo327 MW by the end of June 2014 out of which 17rsquo613 MW were added in the rst six months of 2014 This increase is a substantially higher than in the rst half of 2013 and 2012 when 139 GW and 164 GW were added respectively The total worldwide installed wind capacity by mid-2014 will generate around 4 of the worldrsquos electricity demand The global wind capacity grew by 55 within six months (after 5 in the same period in 2013 and 73 in 2012) and by 135 on an annual basis (mid-2014 compared with mid-2013) In comparison the annual growth rate in 2013 was lower at 128 Reasons for the relatively positive development of the worldwide wind markets certainly include the economic advantages of wind power and its increasing competitiveness relative to other sources of electricity as well as the pressing need to implement emission free technologies in order to mitigate climate change and air pollution
Top Wind Markets 2014 China Germany Brazil India and USAThe ve traditional wind countries- China USA Germany
Spain and India- still collectively represent a 72 share of the global wind capacity In terms of newly added capacity the share of the Big Five has increased from 57 to 62 The Chinese market showed a very strong performance and added 71 GW substantially more than in the preceding years China reached a total wind capacity of 98 GW in June 2014 and has undoubtedly by now crossed the 100 GW mark Germany performed strongly as well adding 18 GW within the rst half year This new record no doubt comes partly in anticipation of changes in the renewable energy legislation which may lead to a slow-down of the German market in the coming years For the rst time Brazil has entered the top group by becoming the third largest market for new wind turbines with 13 GW of new capacity representing 7 of all new wind turbine sales With this Brazil has been able to extend its undisputed leadership in Latin America India kept clearly its position as Asian number two and worldwide number ve with 11 GW of new wind capacity The US market after its eective collapse in 2013 has shown strong signs of recovery with a market size of 835 MW slightly ahead of Canada (723 MW) Australia (699
MW) and the United Kingdom which halved its market size and installed 649 MW in the rst half of 2014 The Spanish market however has not contributed to the overall growth in 2014 as it has come to a virtual standstill with only 01 MW of new installations in the rst half of 2014 As was the case in 2013 four countries installed more than 1 GW each in the rst half of 2014 China (71 GW of new capacity) Germany (18 GW) Brazil (13 GW) and India (11 GW) The top ten wind countries show a similar picture in the rst half of 2014 although on a slightly higher performance basis Five countries performed stronger than in 2013 China USA Germany France and Canada Five countries saw a decreasing market Spain UK Italy Denmark and to a lesser degree India Spain and Italy saw practically a total standstill with only 01 MW and 30 MW respectively of new capacity installed Poland is now in the list of top 15 countries by installed capacity while Japan dropped out
Dynamic Markets to be found on all ContinentsIt is important to note that for the rst time the most dynamic markets are found on all continents the ten largest markets for new wind turbines included next to China India and Germany included Brazil (1rsquo301 MW) USA (835 MW) Canada (723 MW) Australia (699 MW) UK (649 MW) Sweden (354 MW) and Poland (337 MW) New wind farms have also been installed in South Africa and further African countries so that this continent
has obviously entered the race to catch up with the rest of the world
Asia The new leader on total installed capacityWith 369 of the global installed capacity Asia is now the continent with the most wind energy installated suspassing Europe which accounts for 367 Again in 2014 China has been by far the largest single wind market adding 71 GW in six months this is signicantly more than the same period of the previous year when 55 GW were erected China accounted for 41 of the world market for new wind turbines By June 2013 China had an overall installed capacity of 986 GW almost reaching the 100 GW mark India added 11 GW a bit less than in the rst half of 2013 However considering new and ambitious plans of the new Indian government the Indian wind market has very positive prospects Two other important markets in Japan and Korea are still growing at very modest rates of less than 2 in the rst half of 2014 Unfortunately in both countries the nuclear lobby has still managed to prevent the breakthrough for wind power despite the clear economic and industrial advantages
EuropeGermany is still the unchallenged number one wind market in Europe with a new capacity of 18 GW bringing it to a total of 365 GW UK (649 MW new) Sweden (354 MW new) and France (338 MW new) belong to the ve biggest
European markets as well while Spain and Italy saw dramatic declines in new capacity installed to almost zero The future of wind power in the Europe will also depend on decisions by the European Union regarding renewable energy targets for 2030 It is worth noting that the current crisis around Ukraine is in fact strengthening the case of renewable energy proponents as it suggests that the European countries should increase their energy autonomy through the increased use of domestic renewable energy sources rather than relying on imported fossil fuels
North AmericaThe US market has recovered from the dramatic slump in the rst half of 2013 adding 835 MW between January and June 2014 compared to 16 MW in the same period last year It is expected that due to the improved competitiveness of wind power and its
increasing support the market will further recover in the second half of 2014 and continue in 2015Canada installed 723 MW during the rst half of 2014 92 more than in the same period of 2013 and has become the sixth largest market for new wind turbines worldwide The victory of the pro-renewables proponents in the elections in the key province of Ontario gives hope that this positive tendency will continue in spite of rather negative signals at the federal level
Latin AmericaThe biggest Latin American market Brazil has become the 13th largest wind power user worldwide after installing 13 GW in the rst half of 2014 and reaching a total capacity of 47 GW With a most impressive growth rate of 382 during the rst half of 2014 the country has become the third largest market for new wind turbines after China and Germany and ahead of the US and India Brazil is expected to reach the 5 GW mark by September 2014 and to enter the list of top 10 countries with more installed capacity by the end of 2014 Other Latin American countries are emerging as wind markets as well though at a much more modest level
OceaniaPositive developments happened in Australia where an additional 699 MW was installed representing a 23 growth in comparison with end of 2013 similar to the rate of growth in 2011 and 2012 However due to the most recent and very dramatic switch of the new Australian government it has to be expected that this boom will not continue in the near future No new wind farms have been registered in New Zealand
Worldwide prospects for end of the year 2014 and beyondIn the second half of 2014 it is expected that an additional
capacity of 24 GW will be erected worldwide which would bring new installations for the year to 41 GW The total installed wind capacity is expected to reach 360 GW by the end of 2014 which is enough to provide some 4 of the global electricity demand The mid-term prospects for wind power investment remain positive Although it is not clear whether the world community will be able to reach a strong climate agreement in 2015 wind has now reached a level of competitiveness and reliability which makes it a natural option for governments electricity producers and consumers around the world
Stefan Gsaumlnger WWEA Secretary General ldquoIt is encouraging to see that the world market for wind energy has gained new momentum in 2014 This is mainly due to the very positive development in several emerg-ing economies such as China Brazil or India However the stagnation or even slowdown of many OECD markets is a major matter of concern If these countries do not intensify their eorts in wind power deployment they may not only loose their technological leadership but also miss their renewable energy targets In this light it is important to see that citizens are getting more and more the active and driving forces of a rapid switch towards renewablesrdquo

increasing support the market will further recover in the second half of 2014 and continue in 2015Canada installed 723 MW during the rst half of 2014 92 more than in the same period of 2013 and has become the sixth largest market for new wind turbines worldwide The victory of the pro-renewables proponents in the elections in the key province of Ontario gives hope that this positive tendency will continue in spite of rather negative signals at the federal level
Latin AmericaThe biggest Latin American market Brazil has become the 13th largest wind power user worldwide after installing 13 GW in the rst half of 2014 and reaching a total capacity of 47 GW With a most impressive growth rate of 382 during the rst half of 2014 the country has become the third largest market for new wind turbines after China and Germany and ahead of the US and India Brazil is expected to reach the 5 GW mark by September 2014 and to enter the list of top 10 countries with more installed capacity by the end of 2014 Other Latin American countries are emerging as wind markets as well though at a much more modest level
OceaniaPositive developments happened in Australia where an additional 699 MW was installed representing a 23 growth in comparison with end of 2013 similar to the rate of growth in 2011 and 2012 However due to the most recent and very dramatic switch of the new Australian government it has to be expected that this boom will not continue in the near future No new wind farms have been registered in New Zealand
Worldwide prospects for end of the year 2014 and beyondIn the second half of 2014 it is expected that an additional
capacity of 24 GW will be erected worldwide which would bring new installations for the year to 41 GW The total installed wind capacity is expected to reach 360 GW by the end of 2014 which is enough to provide some 4 of the global electricity demand The mid-term prospects for wind power investment remain positive Although it is not clear whether the world community will be able to reach a strong climate agreement in 2015 wind has now reached a level of competitiveness and reliability which makes it a natural option for governments electricity producers and consumers around the world
2014 HALF-YEAR REPORT
The worldwide wind capacity reached 336rsquo327 MW by the end of June 2014 out of which 17rsquo613 MW were added in the rst six months of 2014 This increase is a substantially higher than in the rst half of 2013 and 2012 when 139 GW and 164 GW were added respectively The total worldwide installed wind capacity by mid-2014 will generate around 4 of the worldrsquos electricity demand The global wind capacity grew by 55 within six months (after 5 in the same period in 2013 and 73 in 2012) and by 135 on an annual basis (mid-2014 compared with mid-2013) In comparison the annual growth rate in 2013 was lower at 128 Reasons for the relatively positive development of the worldwide wind markets certainly include the economic advantages of wind power and its increasing competitiveness relative to other sources of electricity as well as the pressing need to implement emission free technologies in order to mitigate climate change and air pollution
Top Wind Markets 2014 China Germany Brazil India and USAThe ve traditional wind countries- China USA Germany
Spain and India- still collectively represent a 72 share of the global wind capacity In terms of newly added capacity the share of the Big Five has increased from 57 to 62 The Chinese market showed a very strong performance and added 71 GW substantially more than in the preceding years China reached a total wind capacity of 98 GW in June 2014 and has undoubtedly by now crossed the 100 GW mark Germany performed strongly as well adding 18 GW within the rst half year This new record no doubt comes partly in anticipation of changes in the renewable energy legislation which may lead to a slow-down of the German market in the coming years For the rst time Brazil has entered the top group by becoming the third largest market for new wind turbines with 13 GW of new capacity representing 7 of all new wind turbine sales With this Brazil has been able to extend its undisputed leadership in Latin America India kept clearly its position as Asian number two and worldwide number ve with 11 GW of new wind capacity The US market after its eective collapse in 2013 has shown strong signs of recovery with a market size of 835 MW slightly ahead of Canada (723 MW) Australia (699
MW) and the United Kingdom which halved its market size and installed 649 MW in the rst half of 2014 The Spanish market however has not contributed to the overall growth in 2014 as it has come to a virtual standstill with only 01 MW of new installations in the rst half of 2014 As was the case in 2013 four countries installed more than 1 GW each in the rst half of 2014 China (71 GW of new capacity) Germany (18 GW) Brazil (13 GW) and India (11 GW) The top ten wind countries show a similar picture in the rst half of 2014 although on a slightly higher performance basis Five countries performed stronger than in 2013 China USA Germany France and Canada Five countries saw a decreasing market Spain UK Italy Denmark and to a lesser degree India Spain and Italy saw practically a total standstill with only 01 MW and 30 MW respectively of new capacity installed Poland is now in the list of top 15 countries by installed capacity while Japan dropped out
Dynamic Markets to be found on all ContinentsIt is important to note that for the rst time the most dynamic markets are found on all continents the ten largest markets for new wind turbines included next to China India and Germany included Brazil (1rsquo301 MW) USA (835 MW) Canada (723 MW) Australia (699 MW) UK (649 MW) Sweden (354 MW) and Poland (337 MW) New wind farms have also been installed in South Africa and further African countries so that this continent
has obviously entered the race to catch up with the rest of the world
Asia The new leader on total installed capacityWith 369 of the global installed capacity Asia is now the continent with the most wind energy installated suspassing Europe which accounts for 367 Again in 2014 China has been by far the largest single wind market adding 71 GW in six months this is signicantly more than the same period of the previous year when 55 GW were erected China accounted for 41 of the world market for new wind turbines By June 2013 China had an overall installed capacity of 986 GW almost reaching the 100 GW mark India added 11 GW a bit less than in the rst half of 2013 However considering new and ambitious plans of the new Indian government the Indian wind market has very positive prospects Two other important markets in Japan and Korea are still growing at very modest rates of less than 2 in the rst half of 2014 Unfortunately in both countries the nuclear lobby has still managed to prevent the breakthrough for wind power despite the clear economic and industrial advantages
EuropeGermany is still the unchallenged number one wind market in Europe with a new capacity of 18 GW bringing it to a total of 365 GW UK (649 MW new) Sweden (354 MW new) and France (338 MW new) belong to the ve biggest
European markets as well while Spain and Italy saw dramatic declines in new capacity installed to almost zero The future of wind power in the Europe will also depend on decisions by the European Union regarding renewable energy targets for 2030 It is worth noting that the current crisis around Ukraine is in fact strengthening the case of renewable energy proponents as it suggests that the European countries should increase their energy autonomy through the increased use of domestic renewable energy sources rather than relying on imported fossil fuels

Stefan Gsaumlnger WWEA Secretary General ldquoIt is encouraging to see that the world market for wind energy has gained new momentum in 2014 This is mainly due to the very positive development in several emerg-ing economies such as China Brazil or India However the stagnation or even slowdown of many OECD markets is a major matter of concern If these countries do not intensify their eorts in wind power deployment they may not only loose their technological leadership but also miss their renewable energy targets In this light it is important to see that citizens are getting more and more the active and driving forces of a rapid switch towards renewablesrdquo

Position Country
The worldwide wind capacity reached 336rsquo327 MW by the end of June 2014 out of which 17rsquo613 MW were added in the rst six months of 2014 This increase is a substantially higher than in the rst half of 2013 and 2012 when 139 GW and 164 GW were added respectively The total worldwide installed wind capacity by mid-2014 will generate around 4 of the worldrsquos electricity demand The global wind capacity grew by 55 within six months (after 5 in the same period in 2013 and 73 in 2012) and by 135 on an annual basis (mid-2014 compared with mid-2013) In comparison the annual growth rate in 2013 was lower at 128 Reasons for the relatively positive development of the worldwide wind markets certainly include the economic advantages of wind power and its increasing competitiveness relative to other sources of electricity as well as the pressing need to implement emission free technologies in order to mitigate climate change and air pollution
Top Wind Markets 2014 China Germany Brazil India and USAThe ve traditional wind countries- China USA Germany
Spain and India- still collectively represent a 72 share of the global wind capacity In terms of newly added capacity the share of the Big Five has increased from 57 to 62 The Chinese market showed a very strong performance and added 71 GW substantially more than in the preceding years China reached a total wind capacity of 98 GW in June 2014 and has undoubtedly by now crossed the 100 GW mark Germany performed strongly as well adding 18 GW within the rst half year This new record no doubt comes partly in anticipation of changes in the renewable energy legislation which may lead to a slow-down of the German market in the coming years For the rst time Brazil has entered the top group by becoming the third largest market for new wind turbines with 13 GW of new capacity representing 7 of all new wind turbine sales With this Brazil has been able to extend its undisputed leadership in Latin America India kept clearly its position as Asian number two and worldwide number ve with 11 GW of new wind capacity The US market after its eective collapse in 2013 has shown strong signs of recovery with a market size of 835 MW slightly ahead of Canada (723 MW) Australia (699
MW) and the United Kingdom which halved its market size and installed 649 MW in the rst half of 2014 The Spanish market however has not contributed to the overall growth in 2014 as it has come to a virtual standstill with only 01 MW of new installations in the rst half of 2014 As was the case in 2013 four countries installed more than 1 GW each in the rst half of 2014 China (71 GW of new capacity) Germany (18 GW) Brazil (13 GW) and India (11 GW) The top ten wind countries show a similar picture in the rst half of 2014 although on a slightly higher performance basis Five countries performed stronger than in 2013 China USA Germany France and Canada Five countries saw a decreasing market Spain UK Italy Denmark and to a lesser degree India Spain and Italy saw practically a total standstill with only 01 MW and 30 MW respectively of new capacity installed Poland is now in the list of top 15 countries by installed capacity while Japan dropped out
Dynamic Markets to be found on all ContinentsIt is important to note that for the rst time the most dynamic markets are found on all continents the ten largest markets for new wind turbines included next to China India and Germany included Brazil (1rsquo301 MW) USA (835 MW) Canada (723 MW) Australia (699 MW) UK (649 MW) Sweden (354 MW) and Poland (337 MW) New wind farms have also been installed in South Africa and further African countries so that this continent
has obviously entered the race to catch up with the rest of the world
Asia The new leader on total installed capacityWith 369 of the global installed capacity Asia is now the continent with the most wind energy installated suspassing Europe which accounts for 367 Again in 2014 China has been by far the largest single wind market adding 71 GW in six months this is signicantly more than the same period of the previous year when 55 GW were erected China accounted for 41 of the world market for new wind turbines By June 2013 China had an overall installed capacity of 986 GW almost reaching the 100 GW mark India added 11 GW a bit less than in the rst half of 2013 However considering new and ambitious plans of the new Indian government the Indian wind market has very positive prospects Two other important markets in Japan and Korea are still growing at very modest rates of less than 2 in the rst half of 2014 Unfortunately in both countries the nuclear lobby has still managed to prevent the breakthrough for wind power despite the clear economic and industrial advantages
EuropeGermany is still the unchallenged number one wind market in Europe with a new capacity of 18 GW bringing it to a total of 365 GW UK (649 MW new) Sweden (354 MW new) and France (338 MW new) belong to the ve biggest
European markets as well while Spain and Italy saw dramatic declines in new capacity installed to almost zero The future of wind power in the Europe will also depend on decisions by the European Union regarding renewable energy targets for 2030 It is worth noting that the current crisis around Ukraine is in fact strengthening the case of renewable energy proponents as it suggests that the European countries should increase their energy autonomy through the increased use of domestic renewable energy sources rather than relying on imported fossil fuels
North AmericaThe US market has recovered from the dramatic slump in the rst half of 2013 adding 835 MW between January and June 2014 compared to 16 MW in the same period last year It is expected that due to the improved competitiveness of wind power and its
increasing support the market will further recover in the second half of 2014 and continue in 2015Canada installed 723 MW during the rst half of 2014 92 more than in the same period of 2013 and has become the sixth largest market for new wind turbines worldwide The victory of the pro-renewables proponents in the elections in the key province of Ontario gives hope that this positive tendency will continue in spite of rather negative signals at the federal level
Latin AmericaThe biggest Latin American market Brazil has become the 13th largest wind power user worldwide after installing 13 GW in the rst half of 2014 and reaching a total capacity of 47 GW With a most impressive growth rate of 382 during the rst half of 2014 the country has become the third largest market for new wind turbines after China and Germany and ahead of the US and India Brazil is expected to reach the 5 GW mark by September 2014 and to enter the list of top 10 countries with more installed capacity by the end of 2014 Other Latin American countries are emerging as wind markets as well though at a much more modest level
OceaniaPositive developments happened in Australia where an additional 699 MW was installed representing a 23 growth in comparison with end of 2013 similar to the rate of growth in 2011 and 2012 However due to the most recent and very dramatic switch of the new Australian government it has to be expected that this boom will not continue in the near future No new wind farms have been registered in New Zealand
Worldwide prospects for end of the year 2014 and beyondIn the second half of 2014 it is expected that an additional
capacity of 24 GW will be erected worldwide which would bring new installations for the year to 41 GW The total installed wind capacity is expected to reach 360 GW by the end of 2014 which is enough to provide some 4 of the global electricity demand The mid-term prospects for wind power investment remain positive Although it is not clear whether the world community will be able to reach a strong climate agreement in 2015 wind has now reached a level of competitiveness and reliability which makes it a natural option for governments electricity producers and consumers around the world

2014 HALF-YEAR REPORT
The worldwide wind capacity reached 336rsquo327 MW by the end of June 2014 out of which 17rsquo613 MW were added in the rst six months of 2014 This increase is a substantially higher than in the rst half of 2013 and 2012 when 139 GW and 164 GW were added respectively The total worldwide installed wind capacity by mid-2014 will generate around 4 of the worldrsquos electricity demand The global wind capacity grew by 55 within six months (after 5 in the same period in 2013 and 73 in 2012) and by 135 on an annual basis (mid-2014 compared with mid-2013) In comparison the annual growth rate in 2013 was lower at 128 Reasons for the relatively positive development of the worldwide wind markets certainly include the economic advantages of wind power and its increasing competitiveness relative to other sources of electricity as well as the pressing need to implement emission free technologies in order to mitigate climate change and air pollution
Top Wind Markets 2014 China Germany Brazil India and USAThe ve traditional wind countries- China USA Germany
Spain and India- still collectively represent a 72 share of the global wind capacity In terms of newly added capacity the share of the Big Five has increased from 57 to 62 The Chinese market showed a very strong performance and added 71 GW substantially more than in the preceding years China reached a total wind capacity of 98 GW in June 2014 and has undoubtedly by now crossed the 100 GW mark Germany performed strongly as well adding 18 GW within the rst half year This new record no doubt comes partly in anticipation of changes in the renewable energy legislation which may lead to a slow-down of the German market in the coming years For the rst time Brazil has entered the top group by becoming the third largest market for new wind turbines with 13 GW of new capacity representing 7 of all new wind turbine sales With this Brazil has been able to extend its undisputed leadership in Latin America India kept clearly its position as Asian number two and worldwide number ve with 11 GW of new wind capacity The US market after its eective collapse in 2013 has shown strong signs of recovery with a market size of 835 MW slightly ahead of Canada (723 MW) Australia (699
MW) and the United Kingdom which halved its market size and installed 649 MW in the rst half of 2014 The Spanish market however has not contributed to the overall growth in 2014 as it has come to a virtual standstill with only 01 MW of new installations in the rst half of 2014 As was the case in 2013 four countries installed more than 1 GW each in the rst half of 2014 China (71 GW of new capacity) Germany (18 GW) Brazil (13 GW) and India (11 GW) The top ten wind countries show a similar picture in the rst half of 2014 although on a slightly higher performance basis Five countries performed stronger than in 2013 China USA Germany France and Canada Five countries saw a decreasing market Spain UK Italy Denmark and to a lesser degree India Spain and Italy saw practically a total standstill with only 01 MW and 30 MW respectively of new capacity installed Poland is now in the list of top 15 countries by installed capacity while Japan dropped out
Dynamic Markets to be found on all ContinentsIt is important to note that for the rst time the most dynamic markets are found on all continents the ten largest markets for new wind turbines included next to China India and Germany included Brazil (1rsquo301 MW) USA (835 MW) Canada (723 MW) Australia (699 MW) UK (649 MW) Sweden (354 MW) and Poland (337 MW) New wind farms have also been installed in South Africa and further African countries so that this continent
has obviously entered the race to catch up with the rest of the world
Asia The new leader on total installed capacityWith 369 of the global installed capacity Asia is now the continent with the most wind energy installated suspassing Europe which accounts for 367 Again in 2014 China has been by far the largest single wind market adding 71 GW in six months this is signicantly more than the same period of the previous year when 55 GW were erected China accounted for 41 of the world market for new wind turbines By June 2013 China had an overall installed capacity of 986 GW almost reaching the 100 GW mark India added 11 GW a bit less than in the rst half of 2013 However considering new and ambitious plans of the new Indian government the Indian wind market has very positive prospects Two other important markets in Japan and Korea are still growing at very modest rates of less than 2 in the rst half of 2014 Unfortunately in both countries the nuclear lobby has still managed to prevent the breakthrough for wind power despite the clear economic and industrial advantages
EuropeGermany is still the unchallenged number one wind market in Europe with a new capacity of 18 GW bringing it to a total of 365 GW UK (649 MW new) Sweden (354 MW new) and France (338 MW new) belong to the ve biggest
European markets as well while Spain and Italy saw dramatic declines in new capacity installed to almost zero The future of wind power in the Europe will also depend on decisions by the European Union regarding renewable energy targets for 2030 It is worth noting that the current crisis around Ukraine is in fact strengthening the case of renewable energy proponents as it suggests that the European countries should increase their energy autonomy through the increased use of domestic renewable energy sources rather than relying on imported fossil fuels
North AmericaThe US market has recovered from the dramatic slump in the rst half of 2013 adding 835 MW between January and June 2014 compared to 16 MW in the same period last year It is expected that due to the improved competitiveness of wind power and its
increasing support the market will further recover in the second half of 2014 and continue in 2015Canada installed 723 MW during the rst half of 2014 92 more than in the same period of 2013 and has become the sixth largest market for new wind turbines worldwide The victory of the pro-renewables proponents in the elections in the key province of Ontario gives hope that this positive tendency will continue in spite of rather negative signals at the federal level
Latin AmericaThe biggest Latin American market Brazil has become the 13th largest wind power user worldwide after installing 13 GW in the rst half of 2014 and reaching a total capacity of 47 GW With a most impressive growth rate of 382 during the rst half of 2014 the country has become the third largest market for new wind turbines after China and Germany and ahead of the US and India Brazil is expected to reach the 5 GW mark by September 2014 and to enter the list of top 10 countries with more installed capacity by the end of 2014 Other Latin American countries are emerging as wind markets as well though at a much more modest level
OceaniaPositive developments happened in Australia where an additional 699 MW was installed representing a 23 growth in comparison with end of 2013 similar to the rate of growth in 2011 and 2012 However due to the most recent and very dramatic switch of the new Australian government it has to be expected that this boom will not continue in the near future No new wind farms have been registered in New Zealand
Worldwide prospects for end of the year 2014 and beyondIn the second half of 2014 it is expected that an additional
capacity of 24 GW will be erected worldwide which would bring new installations for the year to 41 GW The total installed wind capacity is expected to reach 360 GW by the end of 2014 which is enough to provide some 4 of the global electricity demand The mid-term prospects for wind power investment remain positive Although it is not clear whether the world community will be able to reach a strong climate agreement in 2015 wind has now reached a level of competitiveness and reliability which makes it a natural option for governments electricity producers and consumers around the world
