摘要

Global wind power installation increased by 35.8 GW in 2010, bringing total wind energy capacity up to 194.4 GW, a 22.5% increase on the 158.7 GW installed at the end of 2009, according to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).The increase represents investments totalling €47.3 billion (US$65 billion) and for the first time more than half of all new wind power was added outside of the traditional markets of Europe and North America, mainly driven, said GWEC, by the continuing boom in China which accounted for nearly half of all of the installations at 16.5 GW.
