Europe has taken a pioneering lead in the development of floating offshore wind. Europe’s companies lead three quarters of the 50-plus floating offshore wind projects currently in development across the globe.
Floating offshore wind is a fast-maturing technology with the potential to cement Europe’s leadership in renewables globally. It has the potential to extend the frontiers of innovation in renewable energy technologies. Dedicated policies are needed, however, to ensure Europe harnesses floating …

Μελέτη της WindEurope που συνοψίζει τις χρηματοδοτικές δραστηριότητες στην Ευρώπη για αιολικές επενδύσεις από την 1η Ιανουαρίου 2017 έως τις 31 Μαρτίου 2018. Περιλαμβάνει στοιχεία για επενδύσεις για την κατασκευή νέων αιολικών πάρκων, πράξεις αναχρηματοδότησης …

This report marks the first application of “lean thinking” to the offshore wind industry. “Lean thinking” is the dynamic, knowledge driven, and end-user focused process through which an enterprise continuously eliminates wasteful stages and streamline processes with the goal…

Accurately defining and estimating the balancing cost of a single power generation technology, like wind power, is not a straightforward exercise. However, international comparisons of wind integration studies1 suggest that in the EU, increases in balancing costs due to wind variability and uncertainty amounts to approximately 1–4.5 €/MWh for wind energy penetrations of up to 20% of energy demand. This is generally a marginal fraction …

How much difference does wind energy make to the economy? Does it have a real impact on Europe’s GDP? And how many jobs does it create? EWEA’s report delves into all these questions and more…

Wind energy targets for 2020 and 2030
Pure Power III: The latest wind energy scenarios, showing how Europe’s electricity demand can be met and its economy strengthened.

Wind energy and the electricity grid
‘Powering Europe’ puts forward a well-argued case that there are no major technical barriers – but major economic benefits – to integrating large amounts of fuel- and pollution-free wind energy…
