Research and Markets has announced the “Analyzing the Wind Power Market in EU” report.
Europeans have always been highly favorable to wind energy, and over the last eight years, only new gas capacity has exceeded new wind power capacity in the EU. While wind energy today meets 3.7% of EU’s electricity demand, the technology is already the second largest contributor to economic activity and employment in the area of power plant manufacturing.
The European Union has set a binding target of 20% of its energy supply to come from wind and other renewable sources by 2020. In order to achieve this 20% energy target, more than one-third of the European electrical demand would have to come from renewables, with wind power expected to deliver 12-14%.
Analyzing the Wind Power Market in EU, the author focuses on the overall market statistics, the new Directive on Renewable Energy in the EU, wind resources in the EU, and of course a country-wise analysis of the wind power industry. The country-wise analysis focuses on industry statistics, major developments in the industry, and the overall situation for wind power in the country. We also provide an analysis of the regulatory support schemes for wind energy in the EU-27. This includes an analysis of the feed-in tariff schemes offered by governments as well as the option of tradable green certificates, amongst others. The demand for electricity in the European Union and how wind power is playing a crucial role in fulfilling EU targets is looked at in great detail in this research report.
This research report ‘s R’search on the wind power market in the EU is a comprehensive study on this subject, and provides you with a complete picture of what is going on in both the onshore and offshore wind power markets in the European Union.
