Spain reaches new wind record: 45.1% of Spain’s total electricity demand

That’s a peak value.

On average throughout the year, wind energy meets 12% of Spain’s electricity demand. The largest producer of wind power in Spain is Iberdrola, with 27 percent of capacity, followed by Acciona on 16 percent and Endesa with 10 percent. Spain’s wind farms are on track to meet a government target of 20,000 MW in capacity by 2010.

Spain’s so lucky, having those large wind deposits. If only we had wind here in the US (that’s not counting the coastal wind, dangerous to harvest off of Nantucket, because of the danger it might spill)
