List of 5 large wind park developers in Europe

The European Union has set high goals in terms of climate protection and wants to become climate-neutral by 2050, with emissions already reduced by over 50% in 2030. An important part of this so-called “Green Deal” is the expansion of renewable energies, which leads to the emergence of more and more developers in this field. Solar energy and wind energy are most often the focus of developers. Especially in the north of Europe, wind energy is well known and used. Wind plants exist both in the sea (so-called offshore plants) and mainly on land – so-called onshore wind plants. This article presents 5 of the largest wind energy developers in Europe.
