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.

Mrz 15

Wind industry commits to make its supply chains even more sustainable

Renewables are the driving force behind the decarbonisation of our economies but their supply chains are global and complex

Mrz 14

Energy CEOs: Europe needs stronger wind supply chain and clear investment signals

We need investor certainty to get back on track. Imposing CfDs on new or existing projects, or extending emergency measures will not serve Europe’s purpose in delivering climate neutrality while protecting consumers.

The EU built only 16 GW new wind in 2022: must restore investor confidence and ramp up supply chain

Europe built 19 GW of new wind energy capacity in 2022. 16 GW of those were in the EU. That’s 40% up on 2021. But it’s much less than what’s needed for the EU’s 2030 goals. And investments in new wind farms and new wind turbine orders were down in 2022: due to unhelpful Government …

The EU must speed up renewables and renewable hydrogen to secure industry energy supplies and keep up the pace with green industry projects, say WindEurope and EUROFER

The availability and affordability of renewables and renewable hydrogen for industries such as steel ready to decarbonise at large scale must become the EU’s top priority for reaching climate neutrality and accelerating independence from Russian fossil fuel supplies

The energy transition goes together with nature protection

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

Mai 27

Europe puts fast permitting of renewables at the heart of its energy security plan

Mai 10

WindEurope CEO on the RePowerEU Action Plan and the Financial Outlook

Thanks in part to the permitting problems, Europe’s wind supply chain is under huge strain at the moment. Because there aren’t enough permitting projects the market is only half the size it should be.

Permitting the key obstacle to EU wind investments – WindEurope

Despite investor appetite, inadequate permitting frameworks mean there are insufficient available projects

Six measures for more onshore wind in Germany

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.
