The local impact of wind energy in the spotlight on Global Wind Day
From niche technology, wind energy is now a global success story. The wind industry provides 260,000 quality high-skilled jobs in Europe. On a global scale, that figure is now 1.15 million.
Today is Global Wind Day, an opportunity for citizens around the world to learn more about and show their support for wind power. It’s also an opportunity for companies to showcase their technologies and contributions to local economic development and job creation at a more grass roots level.
The wind supply chain is benefitting regions across the globe, including economically less-advantaged ones. Citizens are benefitting from shared ownership of wind farms. Wind farms are also contributing to local economic activity through the taxes they pay to local governments – covering up to 25% of municipal revenues.

ENERGY TRANSITION TO BE ACCELERATED – EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY UP TO 2020 PROGRESSING ACCORDING TO PLAN
Utilize cost reduction trend – raise cap for offshore wind
2017: 1.25 GW newly installed, a total of more than 5.3 GW connected to the grid
Prompt use of free converter capacities necessary
Increased efforts for grid expansion and sector coupling required
“With a total output capacity of more than 5.3 GW, offshore wind turbines make an increasing contribution to the security of Germany’s energy supply. They deliver clean power almost around the clock, every day of the year,” industry representatives from AGOW, the BWE, the German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation, VDMA Power Systems and the WAB explained in Berlin during the presentation of the latest expansion figures for offshore wind energy. “The expansion of offshore wind energy is running to plan.”

2015: A positive year for solar
In 2015, solar grew by 15% in Europe connecting 8 GW of solar power to
the grid. Global grid-connected solar increased by 25% to an estimated 50.1 GW in 2015, from 40.2
th GW in 2014. SolarPower Europe presented its industry figures today at the 11 Solar Market
Workshop.
„2015 was an extremely successful year for solar and after 3 consecutive years of decline in Europe it
is especially encouraging to see the sector grow again“ says Oliver Schafer, President of SolarPower
Europe.
The base for Europe’s solar power demand in 2015 derived from mainly 3 countries – UK, Germany
and France. These top 3 markets counted for 75% of the connections, equal to 5.3 GW. In 2014 their
share was also 75%, but equal to 6 GW. For the second year in a row, the UK took first place with an
estimated 3.7 GW.
