April 7, 2022: -The wind energy sector had its second-best year in 2021. Still, installations will need to increase going forward to keep track of net-zero goals, according to a new report from the Global Wind Energy Council.
Capacity refers to the maximum amount of electrical installations can produce, not what they’re necessarily generating. Published Monday, the GWEC’s Global Wind Report 2022 said 93.6 gigawatts of capacity was installed last year, less than the 95.3 GW installed in 2020. The cumulative total grew to 837 GW.
The offshore wind segment installed 21.1 GW in 2021, its best-ever year. Installations in the onshore wind came in at 72.5 GW last year, against 88.4 GW in 2020.
According to the GWEC, whose members include firms like Vestas, Orsted, and Shell,34,34az, the main drivers of the decline in onshore installations were China and the U.S.
30.7 GW was installed in 2021 for China compared to over 50 GW in 2020; the GWEC cites the ending of the country’s feed-in tariff as the reason behind the drop.

The U.S. has installed 12.7 GW of onshore capacity in 2021, a 4.16 GW decline compared to 2020. The GWEC pointed to “disruptions due to COVID-19 and supply chain issues,” which “slow down project construction execution from the 3rd quarter of 2021 onwards.”

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
