Under the IEA New Policies scenario, India's wind power market would shrink considerably from the current annual additions of around 3000 MW to only 1900 MW per year by 2010. The result would be a total installed capacity of 32 GW by 2020 and 66 GW by 2030. WInd power would then produce close to 81 TWh every year by 2020 and 174 TWh by 2030, and save 48 million tons of CO2 in 2020 and 105 million tons in 2030. The GWEC believes that under the Moderate scenario, the total installed capacity would reach almost 31.4 GW by 2015, and this would go on to grow to 59 GW by 2020 and 124 GW by 2030.
