You are reading old data. After the results of a study in Denmark it was realized that it would be more efficient to have fewer,but larger turbines. That change is underway. Denmark is often used as the example to follow, as 20% of the Danish electricity consumption is covered by clean electricity from wind turbines, compared to 2.4% in the whole Europe. Denmark gets again a world record: wind power alone supplies 20% of the total Danish electricity consumption. The 5,536 GWh produced by clean-energy wind turbines in 2003 covered the electricity demand of 1.4 million Danish homes. At times, Danish wind power production can be strong enough to cover the whole energy demand in western Denmark and part of the consumption on the east of the country. scandinavica.com But Denmark is not stopping there: the projected construction of several offshore wind farms and the ongoing repowering of older turbines will increase the Danish share of wind power up to 29% by 2005, according to the Danish Energy Agency, helping Denmark to meet the environmental commitments agreed in the 1997 United Nations’ Kyoto Protocol on climate change.
