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?
