POWER: Europe’s Low Wind Additions Due to Permitting

POWER

Wind power plants installation rates in Europe are low due to poor permitting, slow grid build-out and insufficient electrification according to WindEurope. 

  • Installations are not low because of manufacturing capacity issues. The existing and growing European wind energy supply chain can produce the 140GW of new wind power capacity, the lobby group expects the EU to install in the 2025-2030 period.
  • “The EU has excellent new permitting rules, but most countries are still not applying them”, WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson said last month.
  • The EU added 12.9GW of new wind capacity last year. Europe added 16.4GW of new capacity.
