WindEnergy Hamburg 2022 | Day 4

WindEnergy Hamburg closes its doors on Friday after a week of agenda-setting discussion on the policy and market issues shaping the global wind power industry.

The tone was set from outset when leading politicians and industry executives spelled out the crucial importance of wind manufacturing to national and regional security, with Europe in particular warned not to “create a new energy dependency” by allowing it to leak away.

The huge offshore wind growth opportunities in Asia, where the industry spoke out strongly in favour of regional supply chains, and policy leadership in renewables and green hydrogen shown by the US also featured in Recharge’s reporting from the event in its role as official news partner.

Notable debuts at WindEnergy Hamburg included the newly-renamed Skyborn Renewables, whose CEO set out the company’s ambitions in an exclusive interview.

If you missed any of the action from Hamburg, never fear – Recharge’s dedicated Live Centre featuring news and analysis from the event will remain online into next week.
