Denmark's evolving wind strategy
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.
