Windpower Monthly
In the Global Wind Energy Outlook 2016 report, GWEC put forward four scenarios of installed wind capacity between 2015 and 2050.
For its most positive suggestion, the advanced scenario, a total of 5,806GW of wind capacity is predicted.
China would remain the world's largest market with 1,789GW of wind power by 2050, with North America — including the US, Canada and Mexico — combining to have 919GW.
OECD Europe could have 703GW of wind by 2050, GWEC said, ahead of Latin America (481GW) and India (452GW).
