Overview:

Summary

The US overtook Germany as the world’s largest wind power market, and has a share of 21% of the global cumulative wind capacity and contributes to more than 90% of the North American wind market. Strong political support from the US government in terms of policies such as Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) will be instrumental in further wind power development in the country. Though the stimulus package for renewables is expected to help in rebuilding the economy and create more jobs in the manufacturing sector, it has been observed that foreign players have been more pro-active and have made significant efforts to gain a foothold in the US wind power market.
