The Global Wind Energy Council launched its flagship publication the Global Wind Report: Annual Market update today in Istanbul. The report details wind power's remarkable growth in 2014, as well as updating GWEC's rolling 5 year market projections, which show continued growth for the rest of the decade.
"Wind power's growth is increasingly driven by its competitive pricing, as well as because it enhances energy security, price stability and (especially in China) through the need to address the choking smog that is increasingly making major urban areas in the developing world unliveable," said Steve Sawyer, GWEC Secretary General.
"The need for clean, sustainable indigenous power sources to fuel economic growth throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America is increasingly being met through wind power, and this will continue for the foreseeable future."
