But as we scale up new projects, we must not lose sight of the first generation of turbines across Europe. Many are reaching the end of their operational life, with tens of gigawatts expected to be decommissioned by 2030.<\/p>\r\n\r\n   <p>This growing wave of end-of-life turbines requires a strategic and circular approach. Repowering is a major opportunity. It accelerates renewable deployment while optimising existing sites, grid connections, and infrastructure \u2014 delivering higher output with a smaller environmental footprint and strong local acceptance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n   <p>The industry must also strive to keep materials and components in use \u2014 either by extending lifetimes where appropriate, refurbishing key parts, or dismantling assets in ways that maximise reuse and high-value recycling to minimize external dependencies and reduce environmental impacts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n   <p>As wind energy vows to strengthen sustainability across its value chain &#8211; designing for circularity, maximising asset value, and scaling reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling &#8211; creating strong supply chains will be essential.<\/p>\r\n\r\n   <p>Managing end-of-life is no longer a niche issue: it is central to a truly circular, sustainable, and competitive European wind industry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"col-md\">\r\n\r\n       <h3>Key date<\/h3>\r\n        <p>Registration opens: <strong>September 2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n     <!--  <p><a href=\".\/information\/registration\/\" class=\"button m-r-2\">Find out more<\/a><\/p> -->\r\n\r\n        <h3>Who is EoLIS 2026 for?<\/h3>\r\n        <p>EoLIS 2026 is the place to be to learn about the latest trends and developments in the field and network with other professionals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n        <p><a href=\".\/programme\/who-should-attend\/\" class=\"button m-r-2\">Find out more<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/app.sli.do\/event\/s54Uhe3uRxTU8fdMY7xGDV\/live\/polls\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Tell us your interests<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n        <h3>Profile your company as a sponsor of this event<\/h3>\r\n        <p><a href=\".\/sponsorship\/#download\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/eolis2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/homepage\/sponsorship.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n       <p><a href=\".\/sponsorship\/#download\" class=\"button m-r-2\">See the sponsorship catalogue<\/a><\/p>\r\n        <h3>Check out the gallery for the last edition of EoLIS.<\/h3>\r\n        <p><a href=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/eolis2025\/photos\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/eolis2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/homepage\/eolis2025-photo-montage.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n\t \r\n      <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<section id=\"content-partners\" class=\"sponsors delayed hide\" style=\"opacity: 1;\">\r\n    <h2><a href=\".\/sponsorship\/#partners\" style=\"color:#79bde8\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Content Partners<\/a><\/h2>\r\n    <div class=\"row\">\r\n        <div class=\"col col-12 col-md-6 m-b-2\">\r\n            <h3>Repowering<br> Partner<\/h3>\r\n            <a href=\".\/sponsorship\/#qenergy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/images\/logos\/events\/qenergy.svg\" alt=\"Q Energy France\"><\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n       <!-- <div class=\"col col-12 col-md-6 m-b-2\">\r\n            <h3>Circularity<br> Partner<\/h3>\r\n            <a href=\".\/sponsorship\/#statkraft\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/windeurope.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/logos\/events\/statkraft.svg\" alt=\"Statkraft\"><\/a>\r\n        <\/div> -->\r\n       \r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n  \r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Europe&#8217;s wind energy expansion is ramping up, with our installed capacity growing each year.
