Global Wind Workforce Outlook 2025-2030
Despite the challenges, there is optimism about wind energy development in France. With continued government support, favourable technical resources, technological advancements, and strengthening market conditions, sector growth is expected. GWEC Market Intelligence believes that more than 11.3 GW of new onshore wind capacity will be added in France by 2030. On average, around 9,000 technicians will be required to support onshore wind development during the forecast period. For offshore wind, workforce demand will scale up significantly this decade as project construction accelerates. Peak offshore workforce needs are expected in 2025, requiring over 4,500 workers, before declining temporarily in 2026-2029 and then rising again above 4,000 workers by 2034–2035. GWO has 34 active BST training centres in France at the end of 2024.
