Wind power is blowing well in the European Union. Three percent of all new capacity in the EU was from wind energy, exceeding all other technologies including gas, coal and nuclear power. The main driver is the EU-wide target that 20% of all energy should come from renewable sources by 2020. Like in the rest of Europe, this is driving growth in Eastern and Central Europe also.

Like its other EU regions, in recent years, the regions in Central and Eastern Europe have also joined in the wind power growth wagon wheel of the EU.

Aruvian Research has identified the broad role being played by these areas in harnessing wind power and hence this report on Analyzing the Central and Eastern European Wind Power Industry 2016 provides a comprehensive encapsulated view of the wind power industry in these areas.

The report initiates with a complete theoretical ground building on wind power on its brief history as well as the harnessing mechanism for electricity through wind turbines and some of the markets.

As every energy solution cannot become a commercial success without some critical support factors this report also analyzes the Growth Drivers for wind power which support the logic for contribution of wind power into any country’s energy pie and the need for growing that share of contribution based on various factors as climate change etc.

Further, the report draws up a global picture of the wind power industry in a separate section wherein the global markets for wind power as structured in 2015 are explained and the worldwide wind resources. The report also provides a complete pan continental view from Africa to Australia, North America thereby building a very comprehensive grasp of the global wind power industry in the back drop of policy orientations globally on this subject. In light of the recent volatility in the world economies the report also examines the industry in the light of recessionary phase of economic activity.

Coming to the core of the report on analyzing the Central and East European Wind Power, the report provides, in detail, the role of wind power in this entire geography on a country wise basis and the contribution of wind power to electricity generation in Central Europe at present. One of the key advancements made in Europe in offshore wind technology is also explained in this report which is also the contributing factor for rapid strides made by Europe in CO2 reductions and the role played by wind power is explained in this report.

In a commercial outlook, this report provides statistics on the wind power investments committed up to 2030 in Europe which can also be gauged by analyzing the growth potential of emerging markets and the major role being played by Austrian, Swiss, and German governments in the furthering of wind power. In a similar manner the report analyzes the Eastern European geography in a country-wise palette with Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Russia and Ukraine among others which have been explained in detail.

Aruvian Research’s report Analyzing the Central and East European Wind Power Industry 2016 is a comprehensive understanding of the Wind Power Industry in Central and Eastern Europe and also at the same time endeavors to increase the global consciousness towards this crucial industry which should not only remain the choice of energy matrix for some countries in the Europe, but should become an environmentally sustainable lifestyle for all humanity in the global panorama for the future.
