Global Wind Workforce Outlook 2025-2030
Country Commentaries Chapter 6:
This chapter provides an analysis of energy policy and workforce development initiatives across six key markets—United States, India, Brazil, Germany, France, and Australia—each characterized by distinct workforce demand conditions.
In the United States, rapid onshore expansion is driving strong demand across construction, installation, and operations and maintenance. Even when offshore wind development is uncertain— the anticipation of future projects creates preparatory demand. India’s accelerating deployment requires a significant scale- up of training infrastructure to meet workforce needs, while Brazil faces growing O&M demand alongside the need for upskilling to support turbine modernization. Germany and France, as mature markets, are contending with aging workforces and increasing O&M requirements. Australia, meanwhile, is experiencing fast onshore growth coupled with acute shortages in electrical and mechanical skills, as well as a long- term offshore pipeline that demands extensive planning.
Although many of these countries have outlined offshore wind development plans, substantial progress is not expected until after 2030. To provide a more comprehensive and objective perspective, this chapter extends workforce forecasts through 2030-2035, delivering a long-term outlook on demand across both onshore and offshore
sectors. Detailed projections are presented in the dedicated section for each country.
