Just another link on the Danish wind program:

This is all from the Danish Ministry of Energy.

There is a cornucopia of data about wind from the Danes.

The windturbines field has developed fast since the beginning of the 1980s and, in particular, in the last ten to fifthteen years. Today windturbines account for a considerable proportion of electricity supplies in Denmark.

As of 1 January 2009, Denmark had a wind capacity of 3163 MW. Of this 422 MW is placed offshore. Since then Horns Rev II has been put in to operation. This means that Denmark now has 631 MW wind capacity placed offshore.

In 2007, wind-power production accounted for 19.7% of domestic electricity supply against 16.8% the previous year, this is due to better wind conditions. In 2006 Wind turbines produced 22 PJ of electricity, which amounts to 2.6% of corrected gross energy-consumption. In 2007 the power produced from wind turbines rose 17.4% compared to 2006, this was due to better wind conditions
