According to the latest BTM 'World Market Update' report, approximately 23,000 turbines, capable of generating more than 38 GW of wind energy, were installed worldwide in 2009, pushing the global total to a figure in excess of 160 GW - a record year for the industry. The strength of the sector, it said, came despite the ongoing financiafcrisis, which continues to shake many of the world's major economies and ravage their industries. Over the course of the year, Europe lost its title as the largest wind power continent, installing 28.2% of 2009's global capacity, down from a figure of 51% three years previous.
