Globally, progress in the wind sector continues to be strong with increasing annual installed capacity and growing investment in the sector. In 2015 alone, 63,013 megawatts of wind power capacity was installed globally, an annual market growth of 22 percent. It is continuing its progress towards becoming a mainstream, competitive and reliable power source in both developing and mature markets. In fact, wind is becoming cheap enough in many places in the U.S. and around the world to compete effectively with fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>As wind energy continues to gain ground, let\u2019s take a look at three main trends we\u2019re seeing in the thermal power sources and natural gasindustry moving forward:<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-138595 kc-title-wrap \">\n\n\t<h5 class=\"kc_title\">1.

Battling challenging cost targets and the need to build wind power closer to urban areas, wind operators must form long-term strategic collabora tions to maintain and increase wind\u2019s competitive edge. Maintaining a long-term partnership with a supplier or original equipment manufacturer will not only save time, but can also save costs through economies of scale. What\u2019s more, through working with one supplier, wind operators can decrease the admin and supply chain.
