Europe gets 20% of its electricity from wind. But not enough new wind farms being built. Urgent action needed on permitting, grids and electrification

Windpark Winter

Wind energy was 20% of all the electricity consumed in Europe. But Europe is not building enough new wind farms.

Germany installed 1.6 GW new onshore wind in the first semester; rigorously implements EU permitting measures

Wind- and Solarenergy

Onshore wind in Germany continues to recover. Today the German onshore wind associations presented new data on the expansion of wind energy in Germany.

Germany gets ready to deploy more than 10 GW of new wind per year with historic package

Wind- and Solarenergy

The Easter Package is an outstanding package of measures that will drive the expansion of wind energy, both onshore and offshore. Big auction volumes. A clear long-term auction schedule. And crucially, major steps to simplify the permitting of wind farms

Germany has turned the corner on onshore wind

WP Norddeutschland E66 EcofinPower

After almost two years of undersubscribed auctions it was the second consecutive auction that was oversubscribed. And that’s not the only good news for onshore wind in Germany. The permitting numbers are up. And the new Government wants to scale up the build-out of new onshore wind.

Six measures for more onshore wind in Germany

WP Norddeutschland E66 EcofinPower

Wind was 27% of Germany’s electricity consumption last year. And renewables in total were over 50%. With 63 GW of onshore and offshore wind farms, Germany has the biggest wind energy capacity in Europe. And Germany should remain the leader in the expansion of onshore wind over the period 2021-25, according to WindEurope’s latest forecasts. But this will only happen if they get their policies right.

Germany: Latest Renewables Law will hold back expansion of onshore wind

Windpark NRW Winter

Wind was 27% of German net electricity last year. And renewables in total were over 50%. But changes to the Renewables Law threaten to undermine the progress renewables are making – and in particular hold back the expansion of onshore wind

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.
