International Energy Agency (IEA) on December 9, 2009 release wind power technology road map that to take to encourage improvements in research, design and development measures, and rapid deployment of onshore and offshore wind electricity generation by 2050 will be 12% of global electricity can come from wind power.

In order to achieve the road map established by wind generator by 2050, global electricity 12% will come from wind power target is calculated that will be required to invest 3.2 trillion U.S. dollars. In the next 40 years, the need to set an annual average of 47GW, to make an annual investment increased by 75% to 81 billion U.S. dollars.

IEA is expected from 2030 onwards, non-OECD economies, especially China, Latin America and India, will produce 17% of the global wind energy by 2050 increased to 57%.

IEA stressed that the land-based wind turbines technology has been certified. Unit MWh cost from 70 to 130 U.S. dollars, wind power has been competitive. As the technology development, deployment and scale of economy, is expected to further decline by 2050 the cost will be 23%.
