2006 was another booming year for the wind industry,  with growth in annual installed capacity of 32 % globally,  well ahead of our own projections. The market continued  to broaden, further establishing wind power as the leading  renewable energy technology – in the vanguard of the 21st century energy industry transformation. Globally, the value  of new generating plant installed in 2006 reached  €18 billion, or US$24 billion. Against the backdrop of a growing acknowledgement of the  twin crises of global climate change and energy security,  wind power is the most effective means available now to  tackle both issues. At the same, wind energy development  strengthens local economies and insulates countries from  the macro-economic shocks of global commodities markets.  Wind energy provides a clear solution for policymakers and  a general public increasingly concerned with volatility in the  gas market, discussions of ‘peak’ oil, and growing realization  of the true cost of coal. Energy policy is now at the heart of high-level international  meetings, such as the UN Commission on Sustainable  Development (CSD) in May 2007 in New York and the  G8 Summit in June in the German city of Heiligendamm.  Climate and energy policy were the subject of a recent  debate in the UN Security Council and a General Assembly  debate is planned for later in the year. Renewable energies, and especially wind energy, are able  to provide solutions to the manifold energy challenges the  world is facing, and their promotion should form the basis of  both national and international energy policy. The Global Wind Report 2006 is the second annual report  by GWEC on the status of global wind energy markets, and  it clearly shows that wind energy today is a global business,  with installations in over 70 countries. While Europe continues to lead the way, with 65 % of the  global market, the United States was the leader in new  installed capacity for the second year running, bringing  about 2,500 MW capacity of new plant on line in 2006.  The Asian market is also growing at a breathtaking rate, by  53 % in 2006. China’s booming industry more than doubled  its capacity; India, the world’s 4th largest market, continued  its strong growth.  The broadening of the global market is clearly illustrated by  the list of markets which more than doubled their installed  capacity in 2006: Iran, Brazil, Mexico, Taiwan and South  Korea; while Poland, Morocco and Egypt nearly doubled. The data and country reports for 2006 have been collected  through GWEC’s member associations around the world  as well as other industry sources. The Council thanks the  contributors and looks forward to further cooperation for  future editions. The central message from the Global Wind 2006 Report is  clear: wind power is becoming an established, mainstream  power source in a rapidly growing number of countries, and  that growth will, and must, continue as we seek to stave off  the threat of global climate change and create true energy  security while at the same time growing new industries,  creating new jobs and a new paradigm for a truly sustainable  21st century energy economy.
