Wind Power Installations 2022 Stay Below Expectations: Delays across the globe result in the lowest growth since 2019 / 88,6 Gigawatt of additional capacity added in 2022, equaling a growth rate of 10,5%, after 13,4% in 2021/ Global wind power capacity stands at 934 Gigawatt – 1000 Gigawatt expected to be exceeded in 2023

The days of lamenting that too few women are involved in the energy transition must be over. In the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the share of women in community energy entities is only 29 percent. Surveys in Japan and in other jurisdictions have shown similar or even lower shares of women.

The World Wind Energy Association and ANEV welcome the presence of delegates from almost 30 countries attending this Conference, on wind, solar, and all other renewable energy technologies.

On the occasion of the UN Climate Change Conference COP26, WWEA has published the Wind Power Planning and Permitting Index which indicates the performance of countries regarding the duration and reliability of planning and permitting processes of wind farms.

Above all, women like Greta Thunberg or Luisa Neubauer, as initiators of the Fridays for Future movement, have given important impetus to climate protection in the past months and years. Such a high participation of women in the community energy in North Rhine-Westphalia is not yet widely visible.

On 1 July 2001, a group of wind energy supporters from around the world met in Copenhagen in order to prepare the 1st World Wind Energy Conference which was scheduled to take place one year later in Berlin. At that meeting, the participants from around the world voiced their support to create an international association dedicated to the promotion of wind power and connecting the wind energy community around the world.

Renewables are Ready to Deliver a Renewable World:

Time for Action for 100% Renewable Energy Globally

Community Energy Working Group of the IRENA Coalition for Action sets the Course for 2021

WWEA Secretary General Stefan Gsänger re-elected as Co-Chair

As part of three #WWEAwebinars on Asia / Australia, Europe / MENA / Africa and America, experts from around the world presented the status of wind power in their countries during the year 2020, and in particular in light of the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic.

Existing studies indicate that women are very active in the environmental and climate movement, but that they are underrepresented in the area of community energy. WWEA and LEE NRW are therefore investigating the role of women in renewable energies in a new study.
