Question

2- Find world data for total installed electrical generating capacity data and installed wind generation capacity for years between 2000 and the most recent year for which data are available. What are the actual annual growth rates for this period?

Answer 1

total installed electrical generating capacity world wide data data

China and India accounted for 2/3 of the global electricity production rise in 2016

China is responsible for half of the global increase in electricity production resulting from high demand combined with fast development of generating capacities.
India was the second main contributor to the 2016 increase, followed by Russia and Canada.
The world richest countries (G7) have registered a reduction in their electricity production, resulting from energy efficiency gains combined with a move toward a less carbon intensive power generation mix.

wind generation capacity

This statistic shows installed wind energy capacity worldwide from 2000 to 2016 with a projection for 2017. In 2016, global installed wind power capacity reached approximately 486.7 gigawatts. Wind energy is a key element of many countries' renewable energy mix. The overall capacity of all wind turbines installed worldwide by the end of 2017 reached 539’291 Megawatt, according to preliminary statistics published by WWEA today. 52’552 Megawatt were added in the year 2017, slightly more than in 2016 when 51’402 Megawatt went online. This is the third largest number ever installed within one year, after the record years 2015 and 2014. However, the annual growth rate of only 10,8 % is the lowest growth ever since the industrial deployment of wind turbines started end of the 20th century. All wind turbines installed by end of 2017 can cover more than 5% of the global electricity demand
