The wind roadmap was one of the initial roadmaps developed by the International Energy Agency in 2008/09. This document is an update of that earlier document, outlining progress made in the last four years, as well as presenting updated goals and actions. This updated roadmap presents a new vision that takes into account this progress of wind technologies as well changing trends in the overall energy mix. It presents a detailed assessment of the technology milestones that wind energy will need to reach the ambitious targets presented in the vision. The key objective is to seek measures to improve wind technology performance and reduce its costs in order to achieve the competitiveness needed for the large investments foreseen. The roadmap also provides an extensive list of non-economic barriers that hamper deployment and identifies policy actions to overcome them. For instance, addressing issues such as permitting processes and public acceptance, transmission and system integration is critically important.
