The world totals include the higher figures for China. See Wind Power section in Market and Industry Trends by Technology and relevant endnotes for further
elaboration of these categories.
Note: Countries are ordered according to total installed capacity; order of top 10 for 2012 additions is United States, China, Germany, India, United Kingdom,
Italy, Spain, Brazil, Canada, and Romania. Country data are rounded to nearest 0.1 GW; world data are rounded to nearest GW. Rounding is to account for
uncertainties and inconsistencies in available data; where totals do not add up, the difference is due to rounding or repowering/removal of existing data. Figures
reflect a variety of sources, some of which differ to small degrees, reflecting variations in accounting or methodology. For more information and statistics, see
