據離岸工程網3月25日消息 英國海上風電產業委員會（OWIC）發表的研究報告顯示，到2026年，英國海上風電產業可能創造超過69800個就業崗位，與今天的26000個相比，這一數字大幅增加。

根據OWIC的說法，大部分工作崗位將在英格蘭東北部、約克郡和亨伯、東安格利亞和蘇格蘭等急需升級的地區創造。

OWIC表示，未來五年，英國私營行業將在全英投資608億英鎊（832.9億美元），用于開發、建設和運營海上風電項目。

2021-2026年，年均投資將達101億英鎊，僅2026年的投資就將達到106億英鎊的峰值。

OWIC表示，該調查是迄今為止英國進行的最全面的調查，涵蓋了海上風能的全部經濟利益。 其首次包括直接和間接工作，以及占總勞動力14％的自雇人士。

到2026年，在69848個就業崗位中，40700個是直接就業（接近60%），29148個是間接就業（在供應其他行業以及海上風電的公司）。

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).
