EU reaches 100GW milestone

The EU has overtaken the 100 gigawatt (GW) milestone for installed wind power capacity, according to the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA). The EWEA said that though it took the European wind energy sector 20 years to get the first 10GW grid connected, it has taken just 13 years to increase it by an additional 90GW, with much of the new capacity installed over the last six years.
