In the first half (H1) of 2024 Europe added 6.4 GW of new wind energy capacity: 5.3 GW onshore and 1.1 GW offshore.
We now expect the EU to build 15 GW of new wind farms this year, compared to 16 GW in 2023.

No gold medal for Europe in renewables without more ambitious policies
Europe number 1 in renewables? Successful energy transition? Not without more ambitious policies, innovation and electrification, according to a new WindEurope report.
‘Making Transition Work’ outlines a number of specific policy recommendations for Europe’s decision makers to ensure the EU meets its energy and climate goals over the next two decades.
First, the EU should raise its ambition to at least 30% of renewables in final energy consumption by 2030. Second we need continued innovation to reduce costs and support the integration of renewables in the energy system. Third, electricity markets need further reform: to make them fit for more renewables and provide the necessary conditions for investment. And we need to push the electrification of heating, cooling and transport with power playing an important role in reaching the European climate and energy targets.
