Advantages

 

The natural resource wind is a sustainable energy source which will always be available just like solar energy, water power or biomass.

The use of wind power reduces the necessity for importing foreign electricity and strengthens the regional economy. Just like water and wood, wind is a natural resource that is used in rural areas.

Power can be produced from wind energy without releasing any pollutants.

Compared to oil and natural gas, it does not pose a threat to people or the environment. No war has to be fought to secure its accessibility and there is no danger incurred by it being transported from one place to another.

Two thirds of wind power is available in the winter months. This is a good reason why it is the perfect complement to hydroelectric power which is less available in winter and at its peek in summer.

Wind power plant technology is available, safe and continuously improving, costs have fallen substantially and public opinion is overwhelmingly positive towards renewable energy sources.

Wind power is not only a sustainable energy source but also creates jobs in the manufacturing and building industry.
