Europe’s wind energy buildout is ramping up – and our capacity is expanding year after year. But we mustn't forget about our older capacity or lose sight of what to do with it. 783 MW was decommissioned in Europe last year – and we’re expecting 27 GW to be decommissioned between now and 2030.

Don't miss this chance to meet and discuss with experts from all over Europe on wind turbine design, policy, repowering, sustainability and more. Newcomers and veterans are all welcome to attend!

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 […]

Laurie GILBERT, Head of Repowering at Q Energy (who is the official Content Partner for ), takes us through a quick introduction into how she believes could be the key to achieving Europe's 2030 and targets.

At our End-of-Life Issues & Strategies (EoLIS) Seminar in Rotterdam next month, Laurie and other repowering experts will discuss how the recent changes in policy affect the repowering permitting process, how local Governments are setting out new rules to facilitate repowering, and how all this will affect the actual amount of repowering taking place in Europe.

Renewable hydrogen is the missing link 🔗 to fully decarbonise Europe. This will be important for sectors that cannot use renewable electricity directly for cost or technical reasons.
 
But what are these sectors? You can think of long-distance freight transport, factories which need to use very high temperatures in their production processes or general heating.
 
Renewable hydrogen is made by the electrolysis of water using electricity from renewable sources such as wind and solar. So with the production doesn’t produce any greenhouse gases.
