Talk:Installed wind power capacity

Untitled
If anyone has past years info, i.e. from 1999 on, it could provide a good recent history of wind power growth. Anthony717 (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I am in contact with an official source and will have the numbers soon. Anthony717 (talk) 17:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I got the official numbers from a representative of the World Wind Energy Assocation. If you want the Excel data set, leave a message with your e-mail on my wikipedia discussion page. I'm adding the data, as I have time, 10 countries at a time. Anthony717 (talk) 23:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

PLEASE don't change any of the numbers (megawatt amounts). These numbers were provided with permission from WWEA, and using the estimates of another authority would be confusing and misleading. Anthony717 (talk) 00:05, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Installed Wind Energy Capacity 1996-1998
I have removed the Table below as it adds little, except clutter... Johnfos (talk) 23:07, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Earlier years was already requested. If you can find data for the intervening years, we can combine the tables so it be less "cluttery", but the data stays. F2x (talk) 23:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

If the intervening years can be found, fine. But until then this fragment of information is just not helpful, and should be excluded. What the article really needs is some more text to provide context and highlight trends in the data, growth rates, etc. Johnfos (talk) 23:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I'll integrate the data into the table, but I'll leave writing extra text to you for the time being. F2x (talk) 23:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Based on Windpower Monthly

Installed windpower capacity (MW) 2002-2007
What is the actual published source for the data in this very large table? It needs to be provided as a reference. Johnfos (talk) 00:37, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well the page seemed to imply it was the World Wind Energy Association, but I only found the data for the current year on their website. I replaced the image with the old table, since that data is already mostly covered on the two tables anyway, and the second table has a clear reference. F2x (talk) 01:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The main table's data is directly from WWEA, via an e-mail I got from media relations rep. Frank Rehmet, in which he authorized the data for public release. Please do not mix WWEA data with Wind Power Monthly data. Detailed yearly data can be found on their website, but only for the most recent year. Past years' data can be gotten from past issues of their yearly publication, "Wind Energy International", although, because I don't have access to those issues, I can't site page numbers.

Add EU Information?
Wouldn't this article be better if it had information for the EU? Like it's done at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power#Wind_power_usage —Preceding unsigned comment added by TimeClock871 (talk • contribs) 04:27, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
