In just 15 years, wind could provide a fifth of the world’s electricity

Up to one fifth of the world’s electricity supply could come from wind turbines by 2030, according to a new report released this week by Greenpeace and the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). That would be an increase of 530 percent compared to the end of last year.

The report says the coming global boom in wind power will be driven largely by China’s rebounding wind energy market — and a continued trend of high levels of Chinese green energy investment – as well as by steady growth in the United States and new large-scale projects in Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa.
