What does EWEA stand for?

The declaration, drawn up by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), commits businesses to ensuring that a sufficient supply of turbines, components, foundations, installation and cable-laying vessels are available to exploit this abundant, free, and fuel-free energy source.

The European Wind Energy Association wonders why CCS and nuclear received more money than wind, which is ready to go.

9 billion) is needed to build offshore wind farms and [euro]2030 billion to build new grid infrastructure, according to the European Wind Energy Association.

The European Wind Energy Association said job creation in the EU will more than double between now and 2020, from 154,000 to 325,000, and it is Shepherd Offshore's aim to make Tyneside a UK centre of excellence for the emerging industry.

Since then, slightly more than 1 gigawatt has been installed worldwide, mostly in the North Sea, according to the European Wind Energy Association.

A recent European Wind Energy Association strategy paper estimated installed capacity, on land and offshore, could rise to 300GW by 2030 - accounting for 28% of power generation in the EU and a quarter of consumption, saving 600m tonnes of CO2.

The European Wind Energy Association has set a target to satisfy 23% of European electricity needs with wind by 2030.

A recent report jointly issued by Greenpeace, the European Wind Energy Association and the Chinese Renewable Industries Association predicts that China's wind energy reserves could surpass the total amount of China's current power generation in future decades, and that by 2020, China's electricity generated by wind energy could potentially rise to 14 per cent of global wind energy output.
