DENMARK: July 10, 2002


COPENHAGEN - Germany's wind power organisation Bundesverband Windenergie said yesterday the country had increased the number of installed wind turbines by an annual 33 percent in the first six months of the year to record-high 1,088 megawatt.


Germany is by far the world's leading wind power nation with total 9,840 megawatt installed by end-June.

Local privately owned wind turbine maker Enercon has 46 percent of the market in the first six month versus 51 percent in the first quarter of the year.

GE Wind Energy had an unchanged slice of 14 percent, while Danish Vestas' share grew to 11 percent from eight percent.
