Abstract: . . .  Also, Spain has near-term plans for an additional 100-200 megawatts of capacity using contracts with premium prices. 41 In Asia, China expanded from 79 to 166 megawatts last year and some ofChina’s projects are being financed using tied aid with Denmark and other mechanisms to continue develop- ment of wind energy in a country that is hungry for clean energy.  . . .
