'Wind at work: wind energy and employment in the EU' report
Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/14/2009 - 16:48.
How many overall jobs have been created in wind energy so far? How do these break down into different types? What about jobs that are indirectly linked to the sector? How does the future look for employment in the sector, especially given the EU’s newly approved Renewable Energy Directive with its 20% renewables target by 2020, with wind set to provide 12-14% of EU electricity by then?
A new report from the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) investigates, analyses and answers many questions like these in a new report entitled ‘Wind at Work: wind energy and employment in the EU’, which contains an in-depth analysis of the topic, alongside forecasts of the future situation.
