– The offshore wind industry is in an international downturn. This is what Magnus Frantzen Eidsvold, spokesperson for renewables at Equinor, tells news. The employees in Equinor’s renewables business will be informed of the measures on Thursday, writes E24. They withdraw from Vietnam, Spain, Portugal and France. Staffing in Equinor’s renewables organization is to be cut by 20 per cent, which corresponds to approximately 250 man-years. – We see that we need to adapt the organization and staffing to the level of activity we are planning for, says Equinor’s executive director for renewable energy Pål Eitrheim to E24. However, the company will not lay off as many employees. Those who work in the parent company will be offered jobs elsewhere in the parent company, according to the director.
