Welcome to the new edition of the Windfair Newsletter.

Our editorial this week takes a closer look at the current mood in the German industry where on-going disputes in the governing coalition, high energy prices and pressure from abroad threaten Europe’s largest economy. 

Meanwhile, the outlook for India and the United States looks bright. The GWEC reports that India is on its way to become a wind energy power house while the U.S. Department of Energy has published three reports stating that wind energy is one of the fastest growing and lowest cost source of electricity in America. Read the whole stories in our highlights section.
