APREN hosts a Wind Europe meeting

APREN hosted a Wind Europe "National Associations CEOs" meeting . The event was held in Lisbon, on September 5.

 

Wind energy in Europe

 

The wind power industry has been a driving force behind European industrialization over the past decade, now facing new challenges that it is important to identify.

 

One of the uncertainties is the evolution of the marginal market price, which is very dependent on the rate of deactivation of the coal-fired power station, that can lead to excess power. This artificially depresses the market price and may delay the development of the European renewable energy industry as a whole.

 

It was defended at the meeting the importance of adapting the electricity market model, the need to create rules for repowering, the correct valuation of the carbon market, among many other aspects. Different aspects of the new Renewables Directive were also analyzed.
