WindEurope’s response to the European Commission’s consultation on the new Guidelines on State aid for climate, environmental protection and energy 2022
The EU’s climate neutrality requires 1,300 GW of wind power by 2050 and a doubling of the annual wind energy installation rates. EU State aid rules are key to creating the conditions for a cost-effective transition to a climate neutral economy. This consultation response outlines the recommendations of the European wind industry on the post-2021 State aid provisions that support an accelerated deployment of wind energy and continued cost reductions.
