Security, jobs and autonomy – why we need our turbines to be made in Europe

By turning our backs on equipment designed and manufactured in Europe we increase our dependency on equipment from outside of Europe. That undermines our energy security.

And the President is absolutely right: it is essential that wind energy continues to be made in Europe

Internationale Energieagentur ruft zum Ausbau der Erneuerbaren Energien auf – sie schaffen Jobs, sind wettbewerbsfähig, krisenfest und zukunftstauglich

Die IEA ruft die Regierungen der Welt dringend dazu auf, zur Bewältigung der Krise und für eine zukunftsfähige Versorgung jetzt in saubere Technologien wie Erneuerbare Energien und Effizienz, in Batterien und Wasserstofftechnologien zu investieren“

BEE-Präsidentin, Dr. Simone Peter, kommentiert das im Bundestag beschlossene Klimaschutzgesetz

Nur mit höheren Ausbauzielen, klar definierten Ausbaupfaden sowie funktionierenden Kontroll- und Nachsteuerungsmechanismen kann Verbindlichkeit für die Branche geschaffen werden, ansonsten verschwinden Ziele und Absichtserklärungen wieder im Nebel der Vergessenheit.

Wind Industry Celebrates One Million Jobs

Global wind employment grew 5% last year to reach 1.1M

Worldwide, 15 June. Record wind industry growth was reflected in a 5% increase in employment in the sector, which now employs 1.1 million1 people. Today, on Global Wind Day, GWEC highlights the socio-economic benefits generated by the global wind industry, in addition to supplying clean power. Global Wind Day is a worldwide event that occurs annually on 15 June: a day for discovering wind energy, its power and the possibilities it holds to reshape our energy systems, decarbonise our economies, build new industries and create new jobs.

The increase in employment figures is mainly due to strong installation rates in China, the US and Germany. New job creation is being driven by declining renewable energy technology costs and enabling policy frameworks. As governments continue to struggle with high unemployment rates in many parts of the world, both the current reality and future potential for employment in the wind industry has become increasingly significant.
