AES is expected to invest about $400 million over the next five years to fully develop the projects. Of that amount, the company will spend $120 million to launch construction on 200 megawatts by the end of 2011.<\/p>\n
Over the past year, AES has come online with 213 megawatts of wind power in France, Scotland and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n
Under the 2009 EU Renewable Energy Directive, both the U.K. and Poland must meet 15 percent of their gross energy consumption through renewables by 2020.<\/p>\n
AES Wind Generation has approximately 1,700 MW of wind capacity in operation globally.<\/p>\n
