Description

Small wind industry in Europe has not developed to the same extent as large-scale wind industry due to a number of reasons, such as lack of government support and micro-generation polices in most of the countries, technical and performance issues, lengthy authorisation and permitting processes and high initial investment. Where at least some government support was provided (the US, the UK) the small wind industry has developed rapidly in the recent years. The present market insight looks into small wind industry in Europe with an aim to provide top-level analysis of the industry forces, competitive landscape and small wind technology.
