Developing and harnessing the energy of renewable energy sources has become a top priority for many nations in the wake of climate change and global warming discourse. Countries in the European continent are recongized around the world as leaders in the development and application of renewable energy.
European nations have understood that utilizing renewable energy sources will help reduce their dependence on foreign energy imports and meeting C02 emission targets to combat global warming. Europe utilizes several sources of renewable energy including Wind, Solar, Nuclear and Hydroelectric.
Research into the Wind Energy Sector highlighted Europes potential in harnessing onshore and offshore energy. A European Environment Agency report published in early 2009 showed that Europe’s wind energy potential could power Europe many times over.
European countries have adopted forward-looking approaches through its huge development in the Wind Energy Sector. The Wind Energy Sector has grown significantly, with companies increasing investment and more Wind Farms being build both onshore and offshore. In 2015, 12,800 MW of wind power capacity was installed and grid-connected, an increase of 6.4% from 2014. Now, Europe has over 142 GW of installed wind energy, 131 GW onshore and 11 GW offshore, representing 15.6% of Europes total power capacity.

Humans have been utilizing wind power since they have been sailing the sea’s. Windmills in China pumped water Man has utilised wind to ground grain and pump water since over two millennia. With the development of electric power, wind power found new applications in providing lighting in areas remote from centrally-generated power.
New ways of using the energy of the wind eventually spread around the world. By the 11th century, people in the Middle East used windmills extensively for food production. Returning merchants and crusaders carried this idea back to Europe. The Dutch refined the windmill and adapted it for draining lakes and marshes in the Rhine River Delta. When settlers took this technology to the New World in the late 19th century, they began using windmills to pump water for farms and ranches and later to generate electricity for homes and industry.
American colonists used windmills to grind wheat and corn, to pump water and to cut wood at sawmills. With the development of electric power, wind power found new applications in lighting buildings remotely from centrally generated power. Throughout the 20th century, small wind plants, suitable for farms and residences, and larger utility-scale wind farms that could be connected to electricity grids were developed.

Background and policy The development of a resilient Energy Union with a forward-looking climate policy is one of the strategic objectives of the European Union (EU). To encourage the transition to a more secure, affordable and decarbonised energy system the EU adopted climate and energy targets for 2020 and 2030 together with a long-term goal to reduce EU-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80–95 % below 1990 levels by 2050 (European Council, 2009). Meeting these objectives will require switching to low-carbon energy sources and mastering our energy demand through energy and resource efficiency improvements and through lifestyle changes.
Renewable energy sources (RES) are already a main contributor to this energy transition. Compared with fossil fuel alternatives they have a high GHG mitigation potential as well as lower health and environment impacts. Increasing the use of renewables during the coming years will bring considerable benefits in terms of green jobs and growth. This could well prove decisive as Europe strives to become a sustainable, low-carbon economy by 2050.
This report complements the findings shown in the Trends and Projections in Europe 2015 — Tracking progress towards Europe's climate and energy targets report with details about the 2013 RES progress at EU and at country level, and for key RES technologies. Furthermore, it provides
