In 2012 Norway had a electricity production of 1.6 (5.8 ), a small fraction of its total production. The following year it approved spending 20 billion NOK to triple its wind power capacity of ca. 700 MW to more than 2 GW by 2020. In August 2016 construction of the 1 GW project began. New projects increased capacity to 2.4 GW and production to 5.5 TWh in 2019. Increased producti.

Let's cut through the technical jargon first - a modern 10MW wind turbine in prime conditions can generate enough electricity to power 4,000-5,000 homes annually. But like trying to predict British weather, the actual output depends on multiple factors.

Based on this insight and on observed growth trajectories in early adopting countries, we develop a probabilistic model (PROLONG) for projecting global wind and solar power deployment.
