All told, these installations accounted for about half of all wind power capacity installed in 2010.
Last year, wind energy added nearly half of all new power capacity in America.
China said it would more than double its already wildly-ambitious target for installed solar-power capacity by 2020.
Research shows that implementing all 150MW of power capacity with the FIT will create 4, 500 local jobs.

China doubled its wind-power capacity that year, then doubled it again the next year, and the year after.
Solar power capacity is projected to grow by 27% annually in coming years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
That's a big number, because 8% to 12% of peak demand for power capacity comes during the busiest 1% of hours.
Worldwide, Germany is biggest by far, with 8, 900 megawatts of solar power capacity, followed by Spain at 3, 600 and Japan at 2, 600.
Delays over decision-making and financing have led to doubts that new power capacity will come on stream before existing plants go offline.
China has more wind power capacity than another nation on earth.

In 1999 the state's wind power capacity was just 180 megawatts.
This fact, along with the planned nuclear shutdowns, is prompting talk that the nuclear plan is untenable because it will leave Germany with insufficient power capacity.
Over the past three years, China has added 200 gigiwatts of coal-fired electric power capacity--equivalent to 20% of the entire installed capacity of the United States.
In line with that, more than half of the total growth in oil demand will be in Asia, and two-thirds of the new electric power capacity.
It has had some successes, as India now has around 1, 466 megawatts of installed solar power capacity, from just 18 megawatts at the time of the launch.
To put the staggering growth rates that achieving this target would require, one need only consider that China currently has less than 1 GW of installed solar-power capacity.
China apparently intends to concentrate the majority of the expansion in installed solar power capacity in the later part of the decade, according to Shanghai Securities News.
In particular, China is planning to install 9 GWs of solar power capacity by 2015 and install the remaining 40 GWs of solar capacity between 2015 and 2020.
The government aims to increase power capacity tenfold by 2017.
Babar believes the upfront solar cost can be reduced to where it's feasible for the farmers and that therefore the aggregate power capacity to the region can be boosted.
Work on one new dam at Xiluodu on the upper Yangtze, which will rival Itaipu's power capacity, resumed last year after being halted for a few months for an environmental assessment.
Mr Brown has previously called for the UK to increase its nuclear power capacity as an alternative to burning fossil fuels, which many experts believe to be a cause of climate change.
Contrary to what the study seems to suggest, my understanding is that New York City currently has a surplus of electric power capacity and will continue to have a surplus for several years.

The EU's largest economy has long been an ardent proponent of renewable subsidies, to the extent that even with its less than tropical climate, it accounts for nearly half the bloc's installed solar power capacity.
Speaking at a news conference in February, President Vladimir Putin said the new program would boost the country's nuclear power capacity to provide 30 percent of the country's energy needs, up from its current 16 percent.
The future of clean tech is already looking bright, as the world's solar power capacity just hit a record 101 gigawatts, and researchers found a new way to charge batteries by harvesting ambient electromagnetic waves from thin air.
