The Asia Pacific (APAC) region holds immense potential for clean, secure wind energy. From 2024 to 2030, APAC is expected to account for 61% of global new wind capacity. Onshore wind capacity alone could double to 1,084 GW by the end of the decade, while offshore wind has the potential to add another 122 GW. As the industry looks to ramp up the pace of new capacity installations, the APAC region has an important role in delivering the wind energy needed for the global net zero transition. In our latest episode of Sustainable Connections, Mark Lee talks to Feng Zhao, Chief Research Officer at the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), and Breanne Gellatly, Renewables Partner at ERM, about what needs to be done to accelerate wind energy in Asia Pacific, including: - Current challenges of accelerating wind energy development in Asia Pacific (APAC) - Tackling wind supply chain and installation bottlenecks in APAC - Opportunities for APAC countries to scale up wind supply chains - How can different stakeholders collaborate to reach APAC wind targets They also discuss their new report on building the Asia Pacific wind energy supply chain for a 1.5°C world.
