Europe is not deploying enough new wind to deliver the Green Deal and climate neutrality, new report finds
Almost 200,000 people will be working in the European offshore wind industry by 2030, a new report predicts
Europe could have more than twice as much wind energy capacity as today by 2030 if governments fully implement their energy plans
WindEurope says this is still not enough to reach the EU’s goal for wind to provide half of Europe’s electricity by 2050
WindEurope warns if national plans are unambitious and permitting issues persist, only 67GW of new wind capacity will be installed by 2023
WindEurope has joined forces with the European Chemical Industry Council and the European Composites Industry Association
The country installed only 134MW of new onshore wind capacity in the first three months of 2019 – its worst first quarter since 2000
Latest figures suggest the amount of capacity additions dropped to its lowest level since 2011
Trade body WindEurope warns the cost of steel used in offshore wind could be increased and therefore make green targets harder to achieve
Companies, including Amazon, Facebook, Google and Nike, have signalled their willingness to do more to tackle climate change
