Vattenfall targets Europe's largest wind turbine market

Swedish utility Vattenfall enters partnership with German developer to multiply its somewhat minimal onshore capacity in the country to fifteen times its size by 2020.
In 1987, Germany's first wind farm, Westküste, became operational. At the time, it was made up of 30 turbines with total capacity of 1,000 kW. Now, the farm, which is owned by E.on and Vattenfall, is down to four turbines of 7.4 MW.
