Are wind energy projects a good investment?
In the EU, 19 GW of new projects were financed, well below the required rate of 32 GW per year to meet the current 40% renewable energy targets. Wind energy projects make an attractive investment and in the long-term there should be plenty of capital available to finance them but issues with permitting must be resolved to prevent delays.
When will a new offshore wind project become eligible?
The previous records were set in 2022 when 8.5GW was eligible across seven projects. A further 4.7GW of new offshore wind capacity (out of 8.7GW in the planning system) could become eligible before applications open in March.
Which countries are investing in wind energy?
