That means more demand for wind energy. The Green Deal is a new deal for us. New customers. New partners. New business models.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<p>A climate-neutral European economy requires huge volumes of wind energy in the power mix \u2013 up to five times what we have today. Major industries like chemicals, steel and others are actively looking to decarbonise by replacing the fossil fuel energy they use with clean electricity. The heating and transport sectors are going more electric too.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<p>All this creates immense opportunities for onshore and offshore wind.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t<p>The EU sees wind being half of Europe\u2019s electricity by 2050. So wind will be the backbone of the new decarbonised energy system. This\u2019ll bring us new customers. We\u2019ll need to diversify our partnerships, engage different industries and develop new business models. We\u2019ll have to think supply and demand.<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md\">\r\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/ElectricCity2021\/images\/about\/health-safety.jpg\" class=\"m-b-1\"  alt=\"Health and Safety demo\">\r\n          <p><strong>\u201cElectric City\u201d is a new onshore and offshore wind event, with participants from wind and beyond \u2013 heavy industry, mobility, district and domestic heating, storage, hybrids, hydrogen and many more \u2013 to join the conversation on how we build a clean economy.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\t\t  <p>This means new voices at the conference, debating changes we need in policy, business models and technology to deliver the transition.<\/p>\r\n\t\t  <p>It means new business partners and customers for you on the exhibition floor.
