Business Expansion in Renewables

If business expansion can be measured by jobs, then Germany, Spain, the USA, China and even Kenya are on this expansion path. According to WorldWatch Institute, Germany’s indirect and direct jobs in the renewables sector is set to reach 400-500,000 in 2020, well up from the 259,000 in 2006. Spain has 89,000 people employed mainly in wind power and PV, as well as another 99,000 indirect jobs. Despite a patchwork of initiatives, the USA had about 446,000 direct and indirect renewable jobs in 2006, and this is likely to increase significantly in 2009. In China, it is estimated that 1 million people already have jobs as a result of the renewable industry, with about 600,000 in the solar thermal industries. And countries such as India, Bangladesh and Kenya are all increasing their employment in wind and solar PV industries.
