They are made by a large and financially strong industry. In 2006, there were 1672 wind turbines in use in the UK, making up 2.5% of UK's electricity-generating capacity but producing under 1% of its electricity. The UK uses only about 1% of its wind power potential. Making use of more wind will involve developing new materials, new techniques and new mathematical modelling methods. The machines will need to be more reliable and robust, and will require a more flexible electricity system to feed into. In the longer term, there may be bigger machines of up to 10 MW, perhaps used in tandem with advanced electricity-storage technology. The growth of a European rather than UK power grid may allow renewables, including wind, to play a larger role.
