The European Commission White Paper, published in 1997, set a target for wind power of 40,000 GW in EU-15 by 2010, which has now (end of 2005) been surpassed. The top five European wind energy markets in 2005 were 1.
* Germany (1,808 MW) 2.
* Spain (1,764 MW) 3.
* Portugal (500 MW) 4.
* Italy (452 MW) 5.
