Global wind power capacity will more than triple over the five years to 2003, Danish wind energy consultancy BTM Consult ApS forecast yesterday. Installed capacity was just 10,000 megawatts (MW) at the end of 1998, but it is expected to soar by 21,000 MW to 2003. The consultancy said there were far-reaching plans for big offshore windmills and that Europe would remain the main growth region for windmill sales.
