Europe’s wind supply chain continues ramp up

Wind- and Solarenergy

The Net Zero Industry Act requires 36 GW of wind manufacturing capacity in the EU by 2030. We need more support to achieve this. Ease access to capital, enable a level playing field with non-European competitors, further boost the grid buildout and our European companies will deliver

Europe not yet reaping the benefits of repowering old wind farms

Windpark Repowering Eifel

Across Europe more and more wind turbines start to reach the end of their operational lifetime. Repowering them – replacing them with new turbines

Our existing green supply chains bring jobs, growth and investment to thousands of communities. We’ve got to wake up and preserve that AND build on it. NZIA is our chance.

Europe invested €17bn in new wind in 2022, the lowest since 2009

Europe invested just €17bn in new wind farms in 2022

Europe invested just €17bn in new wind farms in 2022. That’s down from €41bn in 2021 and the lowest investment figure since 2009 – a stark warning to Governments and policymakers. The EU wants to accelerate the build-out of wind energy to strengthen its energy security and ensure affordable electricity prices.

Investments in wind energy are down – Europe must get market design and green industrial policy right

Wind- and Solarenergy

In March the EU Commission will table its proposal for a revision of the EU electricity market design to enable electricity consumers to benefit from the low costs of renewable power. Europe must avoid reversing 20 years of European energy market integration overnight. 

The energy transition goes together with nature protection

Wind- and Solarenergy

The first and most crucial step is the siting and design of wind farms.  Appropriate siting and design greatly reduces the extent and severity of impacts.  Before construction all projects are assessed by a rigorously independent planning and approval process

PRESS RELEASE EcofinConcept GmbH successfully accompanies wind power transaction

Windenergieanlage WEA VESTAS

EcofinConcept GmbH, which focuses on renewable energies, has accompanied a strategic investor in the takeover of a wind farm operating company as part of a share deal. The previous Danish owner of the wind turbines would like to change his investment focus and not deal with continued operation or repowering of this wind farm himself.

Completion of VESTAS wind farm

For a private investor community, EcofinConcept GmbH has carried out i.g. profitability audits and profitability calculations for the construction of a small wind farm.

Renewable electricity growth is accelerating faster than ever worldwide, supporting the emergence of the new global energy economy

tronger policies and raised climate goals leading into COP26 are driving renewables to new records, but faster deployment across all key sectors is needed to reach net zero

European wind industry reinforces sustainability commitments

Nordex Windenergieanlage

In many countries across Europe the first wind farms are now reaching the end of their operational life. As of 2020, 10 GW of wind farms were already over 20 years old

Record 15 GW of new wind turbines ordered in 2020

Vestas Windpark NRW Winter

Despite the ongoing pandemic, both onshore and offshore orders saw an increase in sales. European countries ordered 8.2 GW of onshore wind turbines – a 13% increase compared to 2019

Repowering is happening and will increase. It’s a great opportunity to get more energy from today’s wind farms.

ENERGY TRANSITION TO BE ACCELERATED – EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY UP TO 2020 PROGRESSING ACCORDING TO PLAN

Utilize cost reduction trend – raise cap for offshore wind
2017: 1.25 GW newly installed, a total of more than 5.3 GW connected to the grid
Prompt use of free converter capacities necessary
Increased efforts for grid expansion and sector coupling required 
“With a total output capacity of more than 5.3 GW, offshore wind turbines make an increasing contribution to the security of Germany’s energy supply. They deliver clean power almost around the clock, every day of the year,” industry representatives from AGOW, the BWE, the German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation, VDMA Power Systems and the WAB explained in Berlin during the presentation of the latest expansion figures for offshore wind energy. “The expansion of offshore wind energy is running to plan.”

Legally defined civic energy again almost entirely dominates the second round of “Wind on Land” invitations to tender

As was expected, the second round of invitations to tender for “Wind on Land” is dominated by players who fulfil the civic energy requirements specified by the EEG, with 95% of the award-winning submissions. As a result, there is greater uncertainty as to whether the extension corridor can be achieved in the years after 2018, both in terms of time and with regard to volume. Suppliers and producers, as well as ancillary building trades, logistics providers and project planners, find themselves under strong pressure as a result of this insecurity.

Prices are decreasing and clearly reflect the strong competitive pressure. It will only be possible to assess in two years’ time at the earliest what the effect of this price pressure will be on actual realisation.

Offshore wind energy in Germany: growth figures for the first half of 2017

Offshore wind energy: Two new offshore wind farms come online – Capacity expansion is essential

108 offshore wind turbines with a combined capacity of 626 megawatts (MW) were brought online by 30 June 2017
Sandbank and Veja Mate, offshore wind farm projects in the North Sea, were completed on schedule, and expansion is progressing steadily
Results from round one of the offshore auction reached a milestone, demonstrating high investor confidence in offshore industry innovation and cost-cutting plans
Politicians are urged to seise opportunities that could have a positive impact on industrial policy and the energy industry. This would require raising minimum offshore capacity targets to 20GW by 2030 and 30GW by 2035
Annual offshore wind energy production: 2015: 8,285GWh, 2016: 12,365GWh, First half of 2017: 8,480GWh[1] (already roughly 70% of last year’s total output)
