"Today, this southern European country of 10.5
million people on the west of the Iberian peninsula has substantially

Energy Association (APREN).
The greatest expansion was seen in Portugal's wind energy industry, which has taken second place in the world after Denmark, displacing Spain to third place. According to Lurdes Ferreira, an environmental expert with the Lisbon newspaper Público, 15 out of every 100 watts of electricity consumed last year in Portuguese homes were generated by wind energy, while in Denmark, just over 20 percent of electricity came from wind energy, and in Spain the figure was 14.3 percent.
In 2009, according to an assessment report released in early January by Rede Electrica Nacional (REN), which operates Portugal's electricity grid, out of every 24 hours of electricity supplied, on average three hours and 36 minutes were wind-generated, an increase of 31.6 percent over 2008. [...]"
