There were hundreds of wind turbines in northern Germany. In the last several years Germany has been strongly promoting energy efficiency and developing renewable energy resources. A September 2003 US Energy Information Administration report stated that Germany "has the most installed wind power capacity in the world". About half the more than 16,000 wind turbines in Germany are in the three coastal states of Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, and Mecklenburg-West Pomerania.
