He may look silly, but the message is spot on
Vestas' UK chief, Rob Sauven, claimed that for the company to remain economically viable in the UK it would need to be receiving 1GW worth of order a year. With Vestas controlling a quarter if the UK market this would require the UK to be adding 4GW of wind power every year. Last year the UK added only 0.5GW.
With the government wanting to achieve 15% of total energy production from wind power by 2020, as part of its green economic recovery plan to create tens of thousands of green jobs, Sauven's assessment illustrates a dire need to stimulate demand and ensure Britain's already late transition to a low carbon economy does not fail.
