MJ’s readers include many of the implementers who go out to install and maintain the new technology, not to mention the vessel builders who build the craft from which the work is conducted and the many port and harbour authority managers gearing up to attract investment and establish long term operational bases as a new dimension to the port facilities they can provide for the fast emerging industries.
More new wind power capacity was installed in the EU in 2009 than any other electricity generating technology, according to the European Wind Energy Association, with 39% of all new capacity installed being wind power,
Europe decommissioned more coal, fuel oil and nuclear capacity than it installed in 2009. Taken together, renewable energy technologies account for 62% of new power generating capacity last year.
Investment in new European wind farms in 2009 reached €13bn, including €1.5bn in the offshore sector, which grew by 56% over the year to reach 583 MW of offshore installation.
2009 was the second year running that more wind power capacity has been installed than any other electricity generating technology. It is also the second successive year that renewable energies have accounted for the majority of new investments.
