Fast emerging wind industry blows into Poland

Organised by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), EWEC 2010, Europe’s largest combined wind energy conference and exhibition, brings together business leaders, policy makers and stakeholders from all over Europe to debate key developments in the wind industry.

The issue set to spark lively debate at EWEC is, can wind power generate half of Europe’s electricity by 2050? Climate policies, including financial and regulatory incentives, moving offshore wind to the industrial stage, the development of global markets for wind energy, rotor aerodynamics, and wind resource assessment are among the issues on the agenda at the EWEC 2010 conference.

Conference sessions are grouped into key themes of Policy & Markets, Finance & Economics, Resources & Aerodynamics, Hardware, and Grids as well as plenary, panel and scientific sessions.

The exhibition space is already sold out, with over 200 exhibitors paid up to fill the 5000m2 of exhibition space. Exhibitors include A2SEA A/S of Denmark, Amsterdam Ymuiden Offshore Port, Converteam UK Ltd, DNV, Dong Energy, NaREC, Siemens Wind Power A/S, and Vestas Wind Systems A/S.

‘The place and the time to catch up with political, financial, technical and other developments is EWEC 2010, said EWEA Chief Executive, Christian Kjaer. ‘Bringing EWEC to Poland was an obvious choice. It is the emerging market with the strongest market growth and the best wind resource.’

‘With a raft of important initiatives that will shape the long term future of the industry, from ENTSO-E’s 10 year development plan, to the European Commission’s North Sea Grid Blueprint and the continued global climate negotiations, 2010 is another vital year for wind energy.’.
