Wind energy accounted for 20% of Europe's electricity consumption in 2024, but new wind farm installations lag far behind what is required to meet the EU’s climate goals. Europe built just 15 GW of new wind power in 2024, with 13 GW onshore and 2.3 GW offshore. The EU needs to build 30 GW annually to reach its 2030 targets, but slow permitting, grid connection delays, and limited electrification are holding back progress.

A new report from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) highlights recommendations to enhance the recycling and reuse of decommissioned wind turbine components, aiming to foster a more circular economy and sustainable supply chain. The research shows that existing infrastructure in the USA could process up to 90% of the mass of decommissioned wind turbines, but new strategies and innovative recycling methods are required to address the remaining 10% and support a more sustainable wind energy sector.
