Nye tal: Opstillere klar til at fordoble vindkapaciteten på land
Et stort antal vindmølleprojekter står i kø for at levere en del af den grønne strøm, der skal til for at opfylde de danske klimamål, som indebærer en firedobling af vedvarende energi på land. En opgørelse fra Green Power Denmark viser, at en meget stor andel af den krævede kapacitet venter på behandling og senere politisk stillingtagen i kommunerne.

Europe invested just €17bn in new wind farms in 2022
Europe invested just €17bn in new wind farms in 2022. That’s down from €41bn in 2021 and the lowest investment figure since 2009 – a stark warning to Governments and policymakers. The EU wants to accelerate the build-out of wind energy to strengthen its energy security and ensure affordable electricity prices.
