Schlagwort: build new wind farms

We now expect the EU to build 15 GW of new wind farms this year, compared to 16 GW in 2023.

Slovakia has excellent wind conditions but must remove barriers to wind energy

Clearer rules and guidelines would encourage investors. The Government also needs to support the expansion of the grid – and lower the disproportionately high fees developers need to pay to connect their wind farms.
