By the end of 2012 wind energy covered more than 30% of Denmark’s electricity consumption. Denmark is thus still well on its way toward the target of 50% wind energy in 2020, and remains the country with the highest share of wind energy in the electricity system in the world. The share of 30% wind e
Gamesa, a global technology leader in wind energy, has, as scheduled, made further progress on its offshore strategy, securing IEC 61400-22 design certification for its G128-5.0 MW offshore wind turbine from independent organisation Det Norske Veritas (DNV). This achievement represents a major miles
