Interview: Mammoet’s Pieter Jacobs on the quest for wind energy

As consumers wish to pay as little as possible for electricity, then bringing down the cost of energy is a key requirement for any new installation of electrical generating capacity.

Renewable energy is making great strides in popularity over fossil fuel and other non-renewable ways of generating electricity. The International Energy Authority forecasts that electricity generating capacity from wind will increase by more than 60 GW a year until 2025, most of it onshore. Yet the world’s total generating capacity was less than that in 2005.
