Europe's wind energy expansion is ramping up, with our installed capacity growing each year
EoLIS – our End-of-Life Issues & Strategies Seminar – is WindEurope’s annual get-together looking at the challenges and opportunities we face when it comes to our ageing wind turbines. Wind energy innovation is not just about bigger models and greater yield. It’s also about delivering turbines that last longer, require less maintenance, and can be repurposed or recycled at the end of their operational life. This way we can ensure wind energy remains the most sustainable source of energy in Europe.
Are you eager to present your work and meet your peers at the 2026 EoLIS seminar?
We are calling for case studies and projects related to wind turbine end of life strategies and solutions including repowering, lifetime extension, and decommissioning. By presenting your case study or project, we offer you the opportunity to share and present your expertise and insights with the event attendees about real life examples and best practices in the various areas of wind turbine end of life strategies and solutions. The objective of these case studies and project presentations is to offer the audience the opportunity to:
- Deep Dive: Gain insight into your work and discover its drives and challenges.
- Knowledge Exchange: Collaborate with international experts and participate in knowledge exchange sessions.
- Share and Discover Best Practices: Opportunity to share best practices within the global wind energy community.
The presentations should be no longer than 15’ and should not contain any commercial information.
Submission deadline is 30 April 2026.

Who should attend?
EoLIS 2026 is the place to be to learn about the latest trends and developments in the field and network with other professionals.
1. Wind Turbine Designers and Manufacturers
Professionals involved in the design, manufacturing, and development of wind turbines who want to gain insights into end-of-life considerations and strategies. This includes engineers, project managers, and sustainability officers.
2. Wind Farm Owners and Operators
Individuals responsible for managing renewable energy projects and assets (wind farms and co-located assets), who want to benefit from understanding best practices and strategies for decommissioning and repurposing wind turbines and their components at the end of their lifecycle.
3. Energy Industry Professionals
People working in the broader energy industry, including executives, policymakers, and consultants, who want to gain knowledge about the environmental, economic, and regulatory aspects related to wind turbine end-of-life strategies.
4. Environmental and Sustainability Experts
Professionals focused on environmental impact assessment, sustainability, and resource management interested in understanding but also contributing expertise to the sustainable disposal, recycling, and repurposing of wind turbine components.
5. Academic and Research Community
Researchers, professors, and students involved in renewable energy, engineering, environmental science, or related disciplines who want to explore the challenges, innovations, and emerging trends in wind turbine end-of-life strategies and help shape new solutions.
6. Government Agencies and NGOs
Representatives from governmental organisations, environmental agencies, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) responsible for policy making, regulation, and environmental protection wanting to understand the nexus between the Net Zero industry objectives, the necessary scale-up of renewable energy and the environmental implications and policy considerations associated with the end of life of wind turbines: decommissioning, recycling, sourcing raw materials, repowering, lifetime extensions.
7. Financial Institutions and Investors
Professionals from financial institutions, investment firms, and venture capitalists interested in renewable energy projects to gain insights into the financial aspects, risks, and opportunities related to wind turbine end-of-life strategies.
