Wind Energy
Key function for the transformation of the energy system
Wind energy plays an important role in security of supply and will be crucial to achieve climate neutrality in the energy system. It ensures value creation and employment as well as energy independence. In addition, the availability of renewable energies is a decisive location factor for economic regions.
Wind industry stands ready to make the new expansion targets achievable. However, a number of hurdles need to be cleared and there are still many challenges for a sustainable value creation in Europe.
