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.

Mayor of UNFCCC Host City Bonn aims at 100% Renewable Energy / Dalai Lama supports 100% Renewable Energy / Famous Pakistan singer Arieb Azhar introduced as new Global100RE Ambassador

We, the participants of the 4th International Community Wind Symposium & Community Power Forum, have gathered in Bonn on 28 & 29 May under the theme “Shaping the Energy Transition – Strength through Alliances”.

Auctions and restrictive approval procedures constrain community power. The acceptance of the energy transition is thus in danger. Great opportunities lie in the areas of direct marketing, sector coupling and electromobility

The new government in Pakistan plans to increase the share of renewable energy in total power generation to 30% by 2030, referring to power from wind, solar, small hydro and biomass. In addition, there is a target of 30% large scale hydropower (more than 50 MW).

Governments in and outside Europe should re-consider their support schemes for renewable energy and allow biggest possible participation
