Wind energy project managers will continue to have good employment opportunities in the coming years. The wind energy industry is among the fastest growing sectors of the renewable-energy industry, due primarily to lower production costs. Better technology and equipment have lowered the cost of wind-generated electricity by about 80 percent in the past 20 years, nearly matching the cost of electricity generated by conventional sources such as coal or nuclear power. Offshore wind energy projects are expected to grow through 2050, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
