DON'T MISS OUT: 20% EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT UNTIL 31 OCTOBER
As the new European Parliament and Commission take office following the EU elections in June, this autumn update outlines the latest data for wind energy in Europe and our expectations for the rest of the decade. Europe now has 278 GW of wind power capacity, with 242 GW onshore and 35 GW offshore. The EU-27 has 225 GW of wind power capacity. The EU is expected to build 22 GW of new wind farms annually from 2024 to 2030 but needs to build 33 GW annually to meet its 2030 climate and energy targets.
WWEA prepares for several activities on the occasion of the fair.
GWEC is a global partner for WindEnergy Hamburg! WindEnergy Hamburg is the world’s biggest and most important wind business platform for exchanging news and views, building networks and closing major deals. National and international wind industry associations cooperate with WindEnergy Hamburg. You can join too!
Platform underlines the need to target 100% renewables globally
Wind Energy Insights Issue #1 with Bureau Veritas
A HowTo-List to reach the 2030 Goals.
More than 120 countries committed at COP28 to triple renewable capacity by 2030, now it is time for action. The APAC Wind Energy Summit is a key forum for making the 3xRenewables target a reality by driving action across APAC and ensuring the region leads the way in wind energy deployment.
117 GW of new wind capacity were added in 2023. The report is now available to download!
WWEA Secretary General Stefan Gsänger chairs the Empowering People working group, WWEA Vice President Monica Oliphant continues as a member of the Steering Group
The EU Commission today announced that it will launch an inquiry into Chinese suppliers of wind turbines under the new Foreign Subsidies Regulation. The announcement comes as Chinese wind turbine manufacturers are pushing hard and winning some orders in Europe. They offer cheap turbines and generous finance which distorts the integrity of the European market and disrupts fair competition.
The Energy Ministers of 8 Baltic Sea countries – Lithuania, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Poland and Sweden agreed the Vilnius Declaration, pledging closer collaboration to secure critical offshore energy infrastructure in the Baltic Sea region. This comes after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and various acts of sabotage to energy infrastructure in the Baltic Sea have created new security concerns. The signatories commit to deter possible malign activities against offshore and underwater infrastructure within NATO and EU.
+++ 116 Gigawatt added in 2023 equaling 12,5% growth +++ China installed around 75 Gigawatt, two thirds of new capacity +++ Wind power generates 10% of global electricity
Investments in wind energy in Europe more than doubled in 2023 compared to 2022, driven by record financing of offshore wind projects. An easing of inflationary pressures, greater certainty in electricity markets, and improved tariff indexation by Governments created a more favourable investment climate.
The EU built 17 GW of new wind energy in 2023, slightly up on 2022 – and more than ever in a single year in fact. But it’s not enough to reach the EU’s 2030 targets. The EU should be building 30 GW of new wind every year between now and 2030. The actions set out in the EU Wind Power Package and European Wind Charter will help increase the annual build-out – national implementation is key. Wind was 19% of all electricity produced in Europe’s last year.
The World Wind Energy Association is pleased to announce that German wind turbine manufacturer ENERCON has joined the Association as a Corporate Member.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) Board of Directors announced yesterday a €5bn counter-guarantee scheme for wind energy manufacturing. This is the EIB’s key action in the EU Wind Power Package. The counter-guarantees will improve access to finance for wind turbine manufacturers, providing them with the support they need to help boost Europe’s energy security and competitiveness.
