Den samlede eksport af varer og services fra den danske vindmølleindustri faldt med 21,1 pct. fra 2019 til 2020. Faldet er særligt at finde på vareeksporten, hvor markedet i 2020 ikke kunne måle sig med rekordåret 2019. Wind Denmark forventer at vareeksporten igen vil stige i 2021 efter et travlt produktionsår i 2020.

Renewable hydrogen produced from 100% renewable electricity sources can play a strategic role in decarbonizing the sectors of our economy that are hard-to-electrify and can foster Europe’s industrial leadership in future-proof technologies.
Mrz 29
Wind was 27% of Germany’s electricity consumption last year. And renewables in total were over 50%. With 63 GW of onshore and offshore wind farms, Germany has the biggest wind energy capacity in Europe. And Germany should remain the leader in the expansion of onshore wind over the period 2021-25, according to WindEurope’s latest forecasts. But this will only happen if they get their policies right.
Mrz 25
Den danske vindmølleindustris historie er præget af dramatiske op- og nedture og ikke mindst en teknologisk udvikling i højt tempo. Siden marts 1981 har vindmølleindustriens virksomheder været samlet i en fælles brancheforening, der har fokuseret på politik, teknologiudvikling, eksportfremme og samarbejde på tværs af værdikæden.
Mrz 05
Europe installed 14.7 GW of new wind energy in 2020. 80% of this was onshore wind. Europe now has 220 GW of total wind energy capacity. But Europe is not building enough new wind to deliver the Green Deal and climate neutrality:
