Having outlasted the worldwide Great Rcession, the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) forecasts a constant growth in wind energy, i.e.: "increase in worldwide capacity to 460,000 MW by 2015." Europe is a Particularly robust market and remains a leading wind power leader - if not in rate of growth (wind energy is arguably a mature industry in Europe), certainly in penetration. The United Kingdom and France are good examples, with the former set to invest 100 billion pounds (> $152 billion American) in wind energy, both on and offshore, the latter progressing to a goal that 10 percent of the country's electrical consumption be wind-generated by 2020.
