I found a diagram with 2008 pie charts for generation and generating capacity. Feeding them into a spreadsheet, I get:

Type of generation	Capacity		Net generation (TWh)		Capacity factor
	(%)	(GW)	(%)	(TWh)	(%)
Total	100%	147.1	100%	599	46%
Nuclear	14%	20.6	23%	138	76%
Lignite	14%	20.6	23%	138	76%
Coal	19%	27.9	19%	114	46%
Natural gas	16%	23.5	14%	84	41%
Wind	16%	23.5	7%	42	20%
Other non-renewable	11%	16.2	6%	36	25%
Other renewable (incl. big hydro, biofuel)	10%	14.7	8%	48	37%

As I expected, the capacity factor for gas is higher than in the USA. As for the 46% for coal plants, note that they are mainly used for 'intermediate load' (pre-scheduled stepped variable generation; mainly to balance the expected daily variation, but also planned shutdowns of baseload plants and predicted wind/solar intermittency).

If the EU-wide average gas-fired plant capacity factor is similar to the German one, then the wind and gas plants installed in 2009 will deliver roughly the same amount of electricity a year.
