Wind Energy in EU-27 – status 2008 65 GW installed capacity, incl. 1.47 GW offshore Annual installations of 8.5 GW (43% of total), incl. 0.35 GW offshore Electricity production of 142 TWh Meeting 4.2% of total EU electricity demand Providing power equivalent to the needs of 35 million average EU households Avoiding 108 Mt of CO2 – equivalent to taking more than 50 million cars off the road (20% of the EU car fleet) and equal to 31% of the EU-15’s Kyoto obligation Annual avoided fuel cost of €5.4 billion* Annual avoided CO2 costs of approximately €2.4 billion* Annual investments in wind turbines of €11 billion* *Source: Pure Power; Wind Energy Scenarios to 2030; EWEA March 2008; www.EWEA.org

10. 20% Renewable Energy by 2020 requires: 35% electricity from RES 25% heating from RES 10% biofuels from RES Electricity 2005: 15% incl. 10% large hydro and 3% wind Excluding large hydro the share of renewable electricity must increase from 5% to app. 25%, in 15 years depending on power demand How Much Renewable Electricity? How Much Wind Power? 1 EC baseline scenario EU demand (2020): 4163.7 TW/h

11. March 2009: EWEA increased its 2020 target from 180 GW to 230 GW (incl. 40 GW offshore) Source: EWEA Rising energy demand and contribution from wind power 2000: 12.9 GW 2008: 66 GW2020: 230 GW Two decades to install 0.9% of EU electricity demand Demand: 2,577 TWh Accelerating pace: reaching 4.2% end 2008 Demand: 3,380 TWh 14%-18% despite growing demand Demand: 4,107 TWh

13. New EWEA Target for the European Union 230 GW wind power in 2020 (including 40 GW offshore) 600 TWh per year by 2020 14–18 % of EU Electricity Demand Requires app. €200 bn in non-R&D investments in 2009-2020 (€125 bn onshore / €75 bn offshore)

14. Electricity Generating Cost in the EU, 2015 and 2030

15. Three Major Global Challenges Energy crisis and sustained high fuel prices Environmental crisis (IPCC: 25-40% CO 2 reduction) Financial crisis And three major European Challenges: App. 350 GW of new electricity generating capacity must be constructed before 2020 (50% of current total) Increasing energy imports at higher cost Ineffective competition in EU power market and insufficient investment in power infrastructure
