More and more companies are turning to wind energy to power their businesses, according to the Global Wind Energy Council. GWEC said wind energy has become fully mainstream and is today one of the fastest growing industrial sectors in the world, attracting $100 bn in investment in 2014.
GWEC made the announcement of Global Wind Day, which occurs annually on 15 June. It said “This shows that wind power doesn't only make sense environmentally and socially, but it is also cost-competitive.” Companies running their businesses increasingly on wind power include BMW, General Motors, Nissan, Honda, CEMEX, Heineken, LEGO, IKEA, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple.
GWEC secretary general Steve Sawyer said: “Climate change is happening faster than expected, but so is the transition to renewable energy.
“As businesses become increasingly aware of the progress in technology and falling costs we are seeing a rapid change in investment patterns.
“Companies like IKEA pave the way for a fossil free future and give an important example for others to follow.”
