| EU wind power industry: 520,000 employed by 2020  The European wind power industry's contribution to EU economic growth will increase almost threefold over the decade by 2020. More than half a million people will be working for the wind power industry in Europe by 2020. The sector has been proven to be a powerful motor against economic slowdown in Europe. This will be shown on Monday 16 April 2012, as the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) presents its latest report "Green Growth - The Impact of Wind Energy on Jobs and The Economy", published at the EWEA 2012 Annual Event in Copenhagen. The report analyses the sector's contribution to GDP and job creation now and in future, with forecasts for 2020 and 2030. The EWEA 2012 Annual Event will be opened in Copenhagen by the Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, EU Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, with 10,000 participants expected to come.write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
