5 Take away from Global Wind Report 2022 (GWEC Global Wind Report 2022) 2021 2nd Best Year for Wind Growth 2021 was the 2nd best year for wind capacity installation (despite Covid) after 2022. Almost 94 GW of capacity was added, of which about 77% was onshore. Grid Investments Needed to Keep Pace with Renewables Grid infrastructure need huge investments to enable the electricity networks through the energy transitions. EU needed 32 GW Wind Yearly EU needed about 32 GW of new wind capacity each year until 2030 to reach its carbon neutrality targets by 2050. In 2021, a mixed picture with the reality of permitting and regulations associated challenges. Workforce Planning and Development Workers from carbon-intensive industries can find a place in renewables and in wind industry. Workforce planning and development should be an early policy priority. Global wind market is expected to grow by 6.% per year on average. The Demise of Baseload Renewables-led systems required more flexibility in the system through enables like digitalisation, hybrid projects, green hydrogen and energy storage. System operators need to develop such tools and regulatory frameworks.
