This figure provides independent confirmation for the trade body RenewableUK's estimate of a current reduction in annual emissions from the entire UK wind fleet of about 6m tonnes.
After four years of doubling its installed wind capacity, a record capacity of 16.5 GW was added to the Chinese wind fleet in 2010, taking the total up to 42.3 GW, which makes China the country with the largest installed wind energy capacity in the world.
Aided by an easterly wind, the fleet was gradually closing on the north-south shore near Île-aux-Oeufs.
In spite of gale force winds, the fleet remained together for two days, when Fly and Hornet became separated from the fleet.

That honor belongs to Agamemnon (Dan Daily), her father, who's stuck in Aulis, on the Aegean Sea, because there has been no wind and the fleet can't set sail for Troy to destroy it.
And in a grotesque recapitulation of the wrong at the start of the ten-year, when Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia for a favourable wind for the fleet, now his armies demand an equivalent killing to expedite the evacuation of Troy.
When the Chorus speaks of suffering and pain, it looks as if they're referring to current events: the queen Clytemnestra's plot to murder her husband, Agamemnon, in revenge for his decision to sacrifice their virgin daughter Iphigenia to win from the gods favorable winds for his fleet to sail to Troy.
At the beginning of the play, the chorus recalls how, at the outset of the Trojan War, Agamemnon sacrificed his and Clytemnestra's daughter Iphigenia, in order to propitiate an angry god and win fair winds for his fleet to sail to Troy.
One example that Williams does discuss (PS: 173; see also the more extended remarks at 1993: 132 137) is Agamemnon's sacrifice of his daughter Iphigeneia for the sake of fair winds for his fleet.
Contrary winds slowed the fleet's progress, and it did not reach the harbor at Holmes Hole (present-day Vineyard Haven) until September 10.
