At the <strong>en</strong>d of 2010, total wind <strong>en</strong>ergy capacity installed in the EU stood at 84,074 MW. The<br />

field is led by Germany, followed by Spain, Italy, France and the United Kingdom. The picture<br />

is differ<strong>en</strong>t wh<strong>en</strong> it comes to market p<strong>en</strong>etration, however. Here D<strong>en</strong>mark leads with<br />

686.6 kW per 1,000 inhabitants, while Germany, with 332.7 kW per 1,000 inhabitants, is only<br />

in fourth place after Spain (449.6 kW/1,000 inhabitants) and Portugal (366.4 kW/1,000 inhabitants).<br />

Installed capacity in the EU averaged 168.3 kW/1,000 inhabitants [101].<br />

The EWEA estimates that in a normal wind year the capacity installed in the EU would be capable<br />

of g<strong>en</strong>erating 181 TWh of electricity, or 5.3 % 1) of the EU’s total final <strong>en</strong>ergy consumption<br />

[100]. However, Observ’ER estimates the total wind <strong>en</strong>ergy actually g<strong>en</strong>erated in 2010 at<br />

around 147 TWh. The discrepancy is largely due to the low wind levels during the year [101].<br />
