In December 2010, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority ordered a 1.5 MW wind turbine to power a wastewater pumping station in Charleston, Boston.[2] The firm is accused of stealing software from AMSC and is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with that firm.[3][4] On 27 June 2013, the United States Department of Justice declared Sinovel and three Individuals were charged with theft of trade secrets.[5] See also[edit] References[edit] External links[edit] Official website in English.

Wind power in the People's Republic of China. With its large land mass and long coastline, China has exceptional wind resources:[1] it is estimated China has about 2,380 gigawatts (GW) of exploitable capacity on land and 200 GW on the sea.[2] At the end of 2012, there were 76GW of electricity generating capacity installed in China, more than the total nameplate capacity of China's nuclear power stations,[3] and over the year 115,000 gigawatt-hours of wind electricity had been provided to the grid.[4] In 2011, China's plan was “to have 100 gigawatts (GW) of on-grid wind power generating capacity by the end of 2015 and to generate 190 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of wind power annually”.[5] China has identified wind power as a key growth component of the country's economy;[6] researchers from Harvard and Tsinghua University have found that China could meet all of their electricity demands from wind power through 2030.[7] History[edit] Offshore Wind Farm[edit] Future wind farms[edit] Stability and cost[edit] See also[edit] References[edit]

Wind Energy Companies. A Snapshot of the Global Wind Industry Editor's Note: The article below provides an excellent snapshot of the global wind industry from a bird's-eye view. For a more detailed and updated look at the sector, check out Jeff Siegel's piece on top wind energy companies. I've discussed wind energy in these pages many times before, but the conversation seems to have always turned to a discussion of wind turbine stocks. Today, I want to take a step back, look at the industry as a whole, and focus more broadly on wind energy companies.

The Wind Energy Industry First, let's get a quick rundown of the growth of the domestic and international wind markets out of the way. Here's the chart for wind power capacity growth by year: As you can see, global installed capacity for wind energy has grown 482% over the last seven years, from 14,604 MW in 2000 to 84,934 MW in 2007. So here's the global wind energy installed capacity forecast, going out to 2012: Of course, those are the fastest growing markets.
