Although exports to the US continue to be important for the Danish wind industry, manufacturers are also turning their attention to the domestic market which is being stimulated by a 100-MW buy program being carried out by the Danish utilities. The performance of turbines continues to improve. A group of one hundred five 55 kW Danish turbines manufactured in 1985 had an average production of approximately 115 MWh compared to a group of thirty four similar sized turbines made in 1981 which had an average production of about 74 MWh each. Denmark installed 1197 wind turbines, having a total generating capacity of 73 MW, between 1981 and 1986 in the country. These turbines generated a total of 120 Gwh of installed generating capacity of 8100 MW, are in the first phase of a program to install 100 MW of wind generating capacity by 1990.
