Shell has more than a decade of experience in wind energy, and owns interest in 10 operating wind projects: eight in North America and two in Europe (Shell share of total capacity is approximately 50%). The projects’ generating capacity totals about 1,000 megawatts – enough electricity to meet the annual requirements of approximately 300,000 homes. Generating that amount of electricity with conventional power plants could have emitted about 3 million tons of CO2. Most of this energy comes from around 720 turbines at eight joint venture wind projects in the USA.
