WindEurope Chief Executive Officer Giles Dickson said: “There’s a pipeline of new projects waiting to start. And the expansion of wind energy envisaged in the national energy and climate plans will create 150,000 new jobs.”
Analysts estimate wind energy pays €5 billion (£4.5bn) in taxes across Europe every year, often directly to deprived rural local authorities. However, the report also warns governments are struggling to deliver their wind installation plans. It is estimated that if this doesn’t improve, the European wind industry could lose 20,000 jobs compared to today.
WindEurope Chief Executive Officer Giles Dickson said: “Provided governments implement their plans properly. If they don’t implement them properly, and if they don’t simplify the permitting arrangements for new wind farms, then we’ll lose jobs.”
