Climate change risks and impacts on wind energy

When: Thursday, 1 June 2023, 9:00 - 10:35
Where: Auditorium Lumière

Session description

The potential impacts of climate change on renewable energies and how global warming will affect wind resources is a recurrent question for a range of stakeholders in the wind industry, from wind analysts to lenders

This session aims to explore different methods and approaches for the identification and quantification of climate change impacts on a wind farm project and to illustrate how to start factoring in climate risk in the wind resource analysis workflow.
