Wind energy can serve a quarter of Europe’s electricity demand by 2030 if policymakers take ambitious measures to reform EU power markets , WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson told the Flame conference in Amsterdam today.
Electricity market reform is the most important way of managing a higher share of renewables in the power mix. “We can achieve this through more intraday trading, fostering demand response, balancing the system across a wider geographical area and allowing renewables to participate in these markets,” Dickson said.
