2nd only to biomass, wind power is among the 1st sources of green energy in Great Britain. Britain maintains over four GW(Giga Watts) installed capacity of wind energy, and this figure is sure to rise soon. A political program instituted by the EU calls for almost 20%. Although forty percent of all wind power produced in the Western european Union is produced in Great Britain, the United Kingdom is still far off the target it should produce domestically through the power of the wind. The United Kingdom agreed to join the programme in 2007, and the governments individual target is currently 15%, but today wind power accounts for only about 1.5% of generated electricity in Britain.
