The renewable energy market
From wind turbines to solar panels and tidal barrages to biofuels, clean and renewable energy sources are at the forefront of everyone’s mind. They’re now even more important than ever as world governments attempt to meet international targets for reducing carbon emissions.
By 2025, GWEC expects more than 1,210 GW of installed onshore and offshore wind capacity around the world. As policymakers consider best “value for money” in their stimulus plans for economic recovery, they should recognise the enormous economic benefits and direct value creation stemming from the expansion of the global wind market.
