Wind energy represents a key component in Europe’s net-zero transition, a survey by Eurostat showed that wind energy represented 37% of renewable energy developed in Europe in 2021. The Baltic region represents a huge opportunity for developers to increase this proportion due to the offshore potential the region possesses. In August 2022, the countries around […]
Energy production from renewable sources has been prioritized globally to tackle the current energy crisis and climate change. The European Union has set the goal of becoming net zero by 2050, a key region to this transition is the Baltics mainly due to the high interconnection with neighboring markets and the high potential for offshore […]
In order for Germany to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions, significant investment is required to support renewable energy development. Germany is one of the world’s leading developers of wind energy, with an installed capacity of 63GW. Wind energy accounted for the largest share of Germany’s domestic energy production according to […]
According to Reuters, Germany’s renewable energy industry grew by 5% in 2022 to 46% but still remains below the targeted 80% by 2030 which was outlined by the Government.

The Rhine-Main area which consists of the most important metropolitan areas […]
Île-de-France is one of the 18 regions in France. The largest country in Europe in terms of area is making great efforts to expand solar energy – for example, in 2022 it was decided that larger parking lots will be equipped with solar roofs as standard. Solar energy is therefore becoming an increasingly important topic […]
As part of the European Union, Croatia aims to become one of many European countries to become climate neutral by 2050. Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic announced the country has obtained up to €9bn worth of funding from the EU’s multiannual financial framework to help Croatia achieve the target. Currently, the largest source of renewable energy […]
Compared to neighboring European countries, Austria’s solar portfolio is modest and in 2017 the Austrian wind group IG Windkraft reported a decline in clean energy consumption by 1.2% to 72.2%. Despite the decline, in 2018 renewables accounted for 29% of the total energy supply which ranked sixth in International Energy Agency (IEA) countries. The majority […]
