INDUSTRY MUST LOOK ELSEWHERE TO RAMP UP ITS POOL OF OFFSHORE TALENT

摘要

According to a newly released Emerging Energy Research (EER) market study, the global offshore wind sector is expected to dramatically expand over the next decade, with the total installed base expected to generate nearly 45 GW by 2020. The report also revealed that the large European wind energy players are dominating the industry for now, led by the UK, and followed by Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.However the sector is also set for offshore developments in North America and Asia. Between 2010 and 2020 for example, North American and Asian energy players, presently looking to Europe for cost benchmarking and technology, are forecast to install almost 25% of the new offshore wind farms to be built worldwide.
