A massive week for wind
It’s time to deliver on last year’s promises for Europe’s immense expansion of wind energy. The coming week is likely to provide a clearer pathway when global leaders meet at Fort Napoleon and in Copenhagen.
At the North Sea Summit II held in Fort Napoleon, Oostende, heads of state and energy ministers from nine European countries gather to pan out how they collectively seek to deliver on last year’s announcement to tenfold the offshore wind capacity in the North Sea. The Esbjerg Declaration penned on the Danish west coast a year ago vowed to turn the shared waters into Europe’s future power hub, providing green electricity to 230 million households. With a joint ambition to deliver multiple connected offshore energy hubs, wind production at a massive scale and green hydrogen interconnectors, coming Monday is likely to provide more comprehensive and detailed insights into how, when, and who might undertake the buildout.
In this vein, the shouldering Wind Europe 2023 conference held in Copenhagen from 25-27 April opens its doors at a very opportune time. Bringing together more than 10.000 participants including the world’s leading energy majors, asset managers and policymakers, a central point of discussion will similarly be how to concertedly help Europe reach its ambition to install at least 60 GW of offshore wind by 2030 and 300 GW by 2050.
Amid turbulent times for the energy sector, the worst energy crisis for several decades, and a downward trend in wind turbine orders, we all await a massive week for wind.
