READING THE DATA
How should wind capacity be interpreted?
What is being measured
Wind capacity is the installed power of the wind fleet, in MW. It is a stock of capacity at a given date rather than annual generation.
What the ranking does not say
Installed MW describe fleet size, not output directly: wind conditions, capacity factors and grid availability affect the GWh actually generated.
METHODOLOGY
Method
EnergyBoard uses the latest EU-27 period and only countries with a value for that same period. Missing values are never replaced by zero.
