France, having missed its 2020 renewable energy target, is actively working to regain momentum. One major obstacle for developers of large onshore wind farms in France is the military’s restriction, which has prohibited wind farms in almost half of France’s land due to aviation and military regulations. This poses challenges for developers to find suitable […]
Wind energy will play a significant role in Germany’s transition into a greener future: The German Parliament adopted an Onshore Wind Law (WindLandG) to expand onshore wind by adding 10 GW a year, starting in 2025. Moreover, as per the Wind Energy at Sea Act 2022, the government plans to have 30GW of offshore wind […]
