Total installed costs onshore for 2008 ranged from a low of 984 €/kW (Mexico) to a high of 1,885 €/kW (Switzerland). Total installed costs offshore ranged from 2,100 €/kW (UK) to 3,230 €/kW (Germany).
In 2008, cumulative installed wind power capacity increased nearly 29% worldwide. At the close of 2008, three-quarters of the nearly 121 GW of the world’s wind generating capacity was operating in the IEA Wind member.
Wind energy is the world's fastest-growing source of power generation with an average annual growth of 29% over the last ten years.
