“The energy transition in Europe is advancing. But much remains to be done if we are to achieve the EU climate goals. Power grid bottlenecks must be addressed and permitting processes for onshore wind farms must be streamlined and accelerated. Making the common energy transition project a success will take international cooperation as well as local acceptance. WindEnergy Hamburg is exactly the right place to bring together people who are in a position to initiate the necessary developments with good ideas and ‘wind power’.”
