Europe's wind energy workforce

How a sector is staffed determines whether it can deliver. The study documents how many people Europe's wind industry employs today, maps 235 job roles across the wind farm lifecycle, and assesses where critical skills shortages threaten the build-out needed to reach the EU's 2030 wind energy targets.
