A report analysing potential growth across emerging European markets was published at the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) conference in Vienna, Austria today, a country seen by some as the "gateway" for the industry into Eastern and Central Europe. The report shows that 12 of the newer EU Member States in Central...
