Large-Scale Integration of Wind Energy

The two-day conference ’Large Scale Integration of Wind Energy’, organised by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) and supported by the European Commission and the European Transmission System Operators (TSOs), took place on 7 and 8 November 2006 in Brussels. This conference focused primarily on the policy, regulatory and business issues related to large-scale integration of wind power generation in Europe, and to the development of an interconnected grid for Europe. A total of 37 speakers from 13 countries gave their views at the conference, and over 250 delegates from more than 20 countries attended. Belgium, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, the UK, Denmark, Spain and Poland were particularly well represented, with more than ten delegates each. However, two European countries (Portugal and Norway) sent only one representative; for Norway with its very long coastline, and with such huge offshore wind potential, this is astonishing. Are they aware of what is going on?

Breaking All AWEA Records

ImageBetween 4 and 7 June the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, USA, was the podium for the annual AWEA exhibition and conference. With over 5,000 attendees and over 290 exhibitors, Windpower 2006 was very successful. The North American wind industry is booming at the moment and everybody is optimistic that the Production Tax Credit (PTC) will be extended after 2007. This confidence was boosted when President Bush said during his State of the Union address earlier this year that wind energy has the potential to generate 20% of the US energy needs.
