Wind Power Growth Boosts German Green Energy Share
Frankfurt, Germany - Germany's wind power expansion pushed renewable energy's share in overall electricity use up by nearly a fifth last year, official data showed on Tuesday.
"Ten years ago, nobody was able to imagine that wind energy (plants) would produce more electricity than hydro power (plants)," BWE wind energy association head, Peter Ahmels said.
"In 2020, wind energy will cover 20 percent of German power use and will be cheaper than power produced from conventional energy sources," he said in statement.
