For China, data to the left of the “/” are the amounts officially classified as connected to the grid and operational (receiving FIT premium) by year’s end; data to the right are total installed capacity, most,
if not all, of which was connected to substations by year’s end. The world totals include the higher figures for China. (See Wind Power section and related endnotes for more details.)
2
For Germany, some onshore capacity was decommissioned in 2015, for a net increase of about 5.7 GW. (See Wind Power section and related endnotes for more details.)
Note: Additions represent gross capacity. Country data are rounded to nearest 0.1 GW; world data are rounded to nearest 1 GW. Rounding is to account for uncertainties and inconsistencies in available
data; where totals do not add up, the difference is due to rounding or repowering/removal of existing projects. Data reflect a variety of sources, some of which differ quite significantly, reflecting
variations in accounting or methodology. For more information, see Wind Power section in Market and Industry Trends chapter and related endnotes.
