WindEurope position on the European Grids Package

Published on 09 March 2026

Overview

Grid constraints are one of the main obstacles to scaling up wind energy in Europe. Years of underinvestment in national and cross-border, on- and offshore grid infrastructure have slowed down electrification efforts across the Union and have led to rising curtailment of wind energy.

The European Grids Package must be a turning point that helps Europe cut its reliance on imported fossil fuels. The European Wind Industry calls on the European co-legislators to reach fast agreement on the Package by end 2026.
