  1. US/ECRE, Finleyville, PA (United States)
Today, wind power is in its infancy, comprising less than .1% of the world`s total energy mix. However, the world installed base of wind turbines doubled in the period 1989 to 1994, from 1.7 GW to over 3.6 GW. More than 85% of this growth occurred outside the US. In a study commissioned by AWEA for the period 1994 to 2000, market growth in 10 target countries is projected to be from 2 GW to 3.5 GW. The World Energy Council projects a total installed base of nearly 10 GW by the year 2000. Much of this growth is expected to come in developing countries. Driven by market related factors, the US industry has recently turned its attention to the international arena. AWEA, US/ECRE, and their partners in government can play a critical supporting role to industry as they make the transition from a domestically focused industry to one that is globally focused.
