Wind sector commits to strengthening Europe’s literacy to boost skills and fight disinformation

Wind- and Solarenergy

WindEurope’s recent report on wind energy dis- and misinformation found that millions of Europeans have been exposed to misleading claims about wind energy. The monitored anti-wind network generated at least tens of millions of views. False and misleading narratives have delayed or stopped projects, put investment and jobs at risk and made Europe’s transition away from imported fossil fuels harder.

Research and innovation vital to sustain wind energy cost reductions and keep industry in Europe

As the EU negotiates the details of its next flagship research and innovation programme – Horizon Europe – channelling resources to the right places will be critical to decarbonise and continue growing Europe’s economy. The Technology and Innovation Platform ETIPWind has released a series of recommendations on where the EU should focus in Research and Innovation funding in wind energy.
The €94bn Horizon Europe research and innovation programme will identify key challenges and priorities for research and innovation funding from 2021-2027. It is critical that a significant portion is allocated to climate action in general and to the ‘Climate, Energy & Mobility’ challenge in particular.
