How much wind power does the EU need?
The Commission estimates that the pace needs to be 37 GW per year to achieve the forecasted contribution of wind power to the EU's renewable energy target of 42.5 %. Source: EPRS, based on Wind Europe report, . installed capacity of at least 60 GW of offshore wind by and 300 GW by .
Why is wind power important to the EU?
The EU is committed to remaining the global leader in renewables. Wind power has played an important part in this success and will be key to achieving the EU’s renewable energy targets and reaching carbon neutral by . The EU has helped develop wind power thanks to its ambitious policies and investments.
How much wind power does Europe have in ?
Europe installed 16.4 GW of new wind power capacity in . The EU-27 installed 12.9 GW of this. 84% of the new wind capacity built in Europe last year was onshore. 2.6 GW of new offshore wind power capacity was connected to the grid. Europe now has 285 GW of wind power capacity, 248 GW onshore and 37 GW offshore.
What is the EU wind power package?
To accelerate wind energy manufacturing across Europe, the Commission presented the EU Wind Power Package in October . It consists of 2 initiatives – the European Wind Power Action Plan and a communication on achieving the EU’s offshore wind ambitions.
Does the EU have a policy on wind?
While the EU does not have legislation dedicated exclusively to wind, it has adopted a non-legislative strategy on offshore renewable energy and a wind power package (see sections below). The main pieces of broader EU legislation with an impact on the wind sector include the TEN-E Regulation and the Renewable Energy Directive.
How much wind power will the EU have in ?
In , the total installed wind power capacity in the EU reached 204 GW (gigawatts), most of which was onshore (92 %). The European Commission estimates that new EU target of at least 42.5 % renewable energy in energy consumption by will require installed capacity to grow to over 500 GW by .
