未来五年英国海上风电产业将支持近7万个工作岗位

据离岸工程网3月25日消息 英国海上风电产业委员会（OWIC）发表的研究报告显示，到2026年，英国海上风电产业可能创造超过69800个就业岗位，与今天的26000个相比，这一数字大幅增加。

根据OWIC的说法，大部分工作岗位将在英格兰东北部、约克郡和亨伯、东安格利亚和苏格兰等急需升级的地区创造。

OWIC表示，未来五年，英国私营行业将在全英投资608亿英镑（832.9亿美元），用于开发、建设和运营海上风电项目。

2021-2026年，年均投资将达101亿英镑，仅2026年的投资就将达到106亿英镑的峰值。

OWIC表示，该调查是迄今为止英国进行的最全面的调查，涵盖了海上风能的全部经济利益。 其首次包括直接和间接工作，以及占总劳动力14％的自雇人士。

到2026年，在69848个就业岗位中，40700个是直接就业（接近60%），29148个是间接就业（在供应其他行业以及海上风电的公司）。

UK: Offshore Wind Industry to Support Almost 70,000 Jobs by 2026

The UK offshore wind industry could create more than 69,800 jobs by 2026, a significant increase compared to today's 26,000, according to research published by the Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC).

According to OWIC, most of the jobs will be created in parts of the country "which urgently need leveling up," including the northeast of England, Yorkshire and The Humber, East Anglia, and Scotland.

OWIC says the private sector will invest ￡60.8bn billion (~$83,29 billion) across the UK over the next five years in developing, constructing and operating offshore wind projects.

The average annual investment will be ￡10.1bn between 2021 and 2026, and investment in 2026 alone will reach a peak of ￡10.6bn.

OWIC said its survey is "by far the most comprehensive ever conducted in the UK" into the full extent of the economic benefits of offshore wind. For the first time, it includes direct and indirect jobs as well as self-employed people who make up 14% of the total workforce.

Of the 69,848 jobs by 2026, 40,700 will be direct (nearly 60%), and 29,148 will be indirect (in companies supplying other industries as well as offshore wind).
