🌬️ Airborne Wind Europe attended this morning in Spain the "Foro Técnico sobre a situación do sector eólico en Galicia" organised by Xunta de Galicia. 📝 The event, which took place in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, revolved around the importance of removing obstacles related to permitting and regulation processes currently limiting wind energy development in Europe. ♻️ "Decarbonization is impossible without clean and renewable energy," said Ángeles Vázquez, Regional Minister for the Environment and Climate Change of Xunta de Galicia. She was the one on charge to kick off the event and put on the table how crucial is to target #NetZero emissions by 2050 by deploying wind energy. For its part, Jose Luis Blanco, CEO of Nordex Group, talked about a pressing issue that is hindering wind energy progress: Europe is trailing in the global renewable energy race. While China, India, and the US are speeding up, Europe is lagging in competitiveness for clean energy installation. As the Draghi Report states, Europe has a marketability problem that requires immediate action. Giles Dickson, CEO of WindEurope added that without faster expansion of our electric grid and streamlined permitting processes, Europe will miss its 2050 climate goals. Paula Rey Garcia from European Commission emphasized that wind power now outperforms fossil fuels in energy generation. However, we need robust planning, streamlined territorial regulations, and increased permits to achieve #NetZero and meet the ambitious targets of the European Green Deal. 🪁 In this context, #AirborneWindEnergy stands out as a game-changing solution that can address some of these challenges. By harnessing wind energy at higher altitudes, where winds are often stronger and more consistent, #AWE technologies can expand our renewable capacity, making it ideal for regions with permitting constraints or limited space. Adopting #AWE could boost Europe’s competitiveness by diversifying our wind energy sources and maximizing energy capture. 🙏 Many thanks to Xunta de Galicia for inviting us and organizing such an insightful event, to the speakers for their nice talks, and to the participants for the great feedback regarding #AWE benefits and advantages. We are looking forward to learning more about the excellent wind energy conditions that Galicia and Spain have to deploy #AirborneWindEnergy and to pave the way towards a greener future. #AWE #WindEnergy #AirborneWindEnergy #CleanEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability #NetZero #GreenTech #CleanTech #CleanIndustrialDeal #NZIA

📢 Today, the third Parliamentarian Breakfast from the Deutscher Bundestag on #AirborneWindEnergy was held at the German Reichstag Building! 🙏 A huge thank you to Mark Helfrich from CDU Deutschlands for hosting this important event and for dedicating his time to support our sector. ✏️ The breakfast focused on a crucial topic: airspace integration and the related permitting processes currently limiting #AWE development in Germany. 🤝 #AWE industry leaders, including Stephen Wrage and Mark Hoppe from SkySails Group; Florian Breipohl and Nicole Allgaier from EnerKite GmbH; Florian Bauer, Ph.D. from Kitekraft; and Kristian Petrick from Airborne Wind Europe shared insights into the current challenges facing #AWE in Germany. One of the most urgent subjects discussed was the lack of clarity in permitting procedures, which is not only delaying projects but has even led to the suspension of crucial test activities. This regulatory uncertainty poses a significant obstacle to progress. ♻️ Together, we explored potential solutions and paths forward to address these challenges and unlock the full potential of #AWE. We also distributed the updated position paper outlining our current priorities and recommendations. 👉 #AWE position paper in 🇩🇪: https://lnkd.in/dpEQW2EZ 🌍💨 Thank you to everyone involved in this vital dialogue as we work towards a future where #AWE can contribute fully to the energy transition. 👉 Find out more about the event on our website: https://lnkd.in/d-EFA_6N #AWE #WindEnergy #AirborneWindEnergy #CleanEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability #NetZero #GreenTech #CleanTech #CleanIndustrialDeal #NZIA
