Laurent and Gerard sit down for an in-depth (and at times fiery) conversation with Ben Backwell, Chair of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), to unpack the current state of the wind industry. Ben joins from Brazil, where preparations for COP30 are already underway.As GWEC has just released its flagship Global Wind Report 2025—a must-read for anyone serious about the energy transition—they reflect on wind power's progress. While the sector has continued to grow, it's been outpaced by solar and storage, grappling with supply chain bottlenecks, technical hurdles, and an all-out culture war driven by fossil fuel interests and political headwinds.The discussion covers the recent struggles of the U.S. offshore wind sector (recorded just before the devastating cancellation of Equinor's Empire Wind project, a move we, unfortunately, saw coming).We also dive into China's meteoric rise, now dominating two-thirds of the global wind market with players like Goldwind, Envision, Windey, and Mingyang—now surpassing Western stalwarts such as Vestas, Siemens Energy, and GE Vernova.Despite the noise and negativity—what Laurent refers to as “the enemies of freedom”—there's reason to stay hopeful. Wind remains a cornerstone of clean, secure, and locally sourced energy in many regions.Check out the full Global Wind Report 2025 from GWEC here: https://www.gwec.net/reports/globalwindreport

The wind industry should be experiencing a golden age. As one of the world's cheapest forms of new generation, with a renewed global focus on energy security, and the need to decarbonise, wind energy is often the go-to technology of choice. But orders for new machinery were down in 2022, and western original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have issued warnings for a difficult 2023. A similar story is seen along the whole supply chain. Many fingers point to permitting, particularly in Europe, as the main bottleneck for the deployment of new wind capacity. But there are other issues the sector is facing that it must also overcome. In this week's Watt Matters, Ben Blackwell, CEO of the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), and Morten Dyrholm, Vice President and Global Head of Marketing and Public Affairs at Danish OEM Vestas Wind and chair of GWEC, discuss with the team why the wind manufacturing sector is struggling, what the solutions could be and why there is still cause for optimism.

The Global Wind Energy Council and The Conduit have partnered this year to drive the conversation ahead of COP27 in Egypt. We'll look at the transversal issues facing those fighting to tackle climate change, and the topics that will be top of the agenda for world leaders in November. One of those key challenges will be ensuring a just transition; one that takes every region forward to a world powered by renewable energy, and one where everybody has left polluting fossil fuels behind.  The partnership's penultimate podcast looks at the just energy transition through the lens of Africa including the position on gas in the energy transition, the unexploited wind potential in the region and the rise of the JETP.   GWEC's Reshmi Ladwa is joined by Wangari Muchiri, Director of Africa Wind Power also at GWEC to discuss their lived Africa COP experience. The conversation addresses the narrative associated with gas and the deployment of renewables in Africa. As the continent develops and industrialises we discuss the positive impacts that the acceleration of renewables can have on nations. Ensuring a just energy transition in the form of national frameworks can further lessen the burden faced by the most impacted stakeholders in the energy transition. Join us as we discuss live from week one of COP!

Nesta terça-feira (15), a RFI aborda a questão da energia em sua programação e em entrevistas especiais. O assunto também ganhou destaque nas reuniões do G20, em Bali, e na COP 27, no Egito. Nessa segunda reportagem, a redação brasileira aprofunda a radiografia dos projetos de fontes renováveis no Brasil e explora o potencial do país para atrair investimentos. Maria Paula Carvalho da RFI Dentre as economias mais relevantes do mundo, o Brasil já ocupa uma posição de destaque na produção de energia limpa por causa da matriz 60% hídrica. Porém, mudanças do regime pluvial e a emergência climática apontam as vulnerabilidades do setor hidrelétrico, que vem perdendo espaço, a cada dia, para a produção de energia fotovoltaica e eólica, projetos que se aproveitam da abundante e perene incidência solar e de ventos no país. Um dos países que mais investem na produção de energia eólica no mundo, sendo considerado uma potência no setor, o Brasil ocupa o sexto lugar no Ranking de Capacidade Instalada do GWEC, o Conselho Global de Energia Eólica. A importância desse tipo de energia para a geração de empregos e investimentos no Brasil foi apontada em um estudo elaborado pelo economista Braúlio Borges, pesquisador associado do FGV-IBRE e economista-sênior da LCA Consultores. Os dados mostram que, entre 2011 e 2020, as eólicas movimentaram R$ 321 bilhões na economia nacional (R$ 110,5 bilhões de investimentos diretos na construção de parques eólicos e R$ 210,5 bilhões como efeitos indiretos). Os especialistas apontam que cada real investido em parques eólicos elevou o PIB brasileiro em cerca de R$ 2,90. "Nós ainda temos muito potencial a explorar", analisa Carlos Rittl, especialista em política internacional da Rain Forest Foundation da Noruega. "O Brasil pode ampliar muito a geração de energia eólica, inclusive fala-se do potencial de aproveitamento que o Brasil tem offshore. No oceano, como a gente vê em países da Europa, esse potencial pode ser ampliado e muito bem aproveitado", completa. Histórico A primeira turbina eólica foi instalada no Brasil em 1992, no arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha, resultado de uma parceria entre o Centro Brasileiro de Energia Eólica (CBEE) e a Companhia Energética de Pernambuco (CELPE), com financiamento do instituto de pesquisas dinamarquês Folkecenter. Durante os dez anos seguintes, a energia eólica pouco cresceu no país, em parte pela falta de políticas públicas, mas principalmente pelo alto custo da tecnologia. Durante a crise energética de 2001, houve uma tentativa de incentivar a contratação de empreendimentos de geração de energia eólica no Brasil. O apoio institucional abriu caminho para a fixação de uma indústria de componentes local, com exigências de conteúdo nacional nos projetos de aerogeradores. Hoje, o Brasil tem pelo menos seis fabricantes de turbinas, fábricas de pás e torres eólicas e centenas de empresas que trabalham em outros componentes, além de transporte, consultorias e planejamento das obras.  Camila Ramos, consultora e diretora da CELA (Clean Energy Latin America), explica que as fontes de energia alternativa servem como complementos à geração das hidrelétricas. "O ideal é usar o máximo de renovável que conseguir no tempo real que você gerou. Agora, no momento em que a gente chega num patamar, em que não estamos hoje ainda no Brasil, quando a gente gera tanta energia renovável que não temos como usar, o ideal é ter armazenamento de energia, que são as baterias. Que é a novidade que está sendo instalada hoje no Brasil e no mundo, um setor que cresce bastante", observa. Hidrogênio verde Além de recorrer às baterias, o Brasil pode entrar na produção do chamado "hidrogênio verde", explica Gil Maranhão, diretor de Comunicação e Sustentabilidade da Engie Brasil, empresa controlada pelo grupo francês Engie, líder global na produção independente de energia, que tem atividades em mais de 70 países. "Não só para armazenar, mas também você pode desenvolver novas usinas eólicas e solares para produzir hidrogênio verde, o combustível que vai possibilitar que indústrias e setores que não estão ligados em redes possam comprar e consumir energia renovável. Por exemplo, o transporte marítimo e aéreo", indica. “O hidrogênio verde produzido através de eletrólise que consome no seu processo energia renovável é um bom exemplo de como você pode usar a energia renovável que não seja usada no momento”, explica Maranhão. “O mundo inteiro está estudando a viabilidade de armazenamento via baterias, é um futuro sim, mas ainda está um pouco distante”, avalia.  Outra questão a ser debatida são os incentivos ao setor. A consultora Camila Ramos alerta que a atual redução de incentivos do governo para os setores renováveis vai na contramão do que o mundo espera. "O Brasil tem uma matriz energética muito limpa, mas isso não pode deixar com que a gente se acomode", diz. "O que é feito hoje no Brasil de energia renovável é muito pela iniciativa privada, por conta das renováveis serem as fontes mais baratas. Nenhuma fonte concorre mais com a eólica e solar em preço. Em termos de políticas, a gente está retirando todos os incentivos que havia", diz. "Por outro lado, o Brasil tem contratado muita termelétrica a gás recentemente, o que não é positivo. Estamos indo na direção contrária da transição energética", acrescenta. Para Gil Maranhão, "isso é controverso, porque enquanto alguns dizem que o incentivo é bom para estimular, outros dizem que os incentivos que foram dados no passado, no início dos anos 2000, já cumpriram o seu papel", diz o executivo da Engie do Brasil. "Eles já chegaram em uma curva de preço competitivo no mercado", completa.   Com faturamento de € 57,9 bilhões em receitas em 2021, o grupo francês Engie é a maior geradora eólica e solar da França e aposta nos projetos no Brasil. Maranhão destaca que o país pode pensar em uma reindustrialização baseada no potencial de novos projetos em solo nacional. "Se nós formos considerar todos os projetos que hoje estão prontos para começar a ser construídos apenas de solar e eólica, a estimativa é que haja um Brasil inteiro de capacidade instalada que é 170 GW pronto para iniciar construção, só aguardando por mercado, financiamento ou finalização de licenciamento ambiental", calcula. "O potencial é enorme. Mas para aproveitar tudo isso, o Brasil precisa crescer, ou seja, ter desenvolvimento econômico para gerar demanda", explica o executivo.  "Você quando vê um potencial enorme desses, olhando para o futuro, vemos que não vai haver mercado, dada a população e economia brasileira. Mas essa é uma oportunidade que o Brasil tem de trazer investimentos para cá de indústrias de países que não vão ter condições de cumprir as suas NDCs, do Acordo de Paris, por vários motivos", diz. "Por que não o Brasil ser um foco de investimento de várias indústrias que precisam buscar energia renovável para cumprir suas metas e compromissos de redução de carbono e se tornar um polo de investimento numa reindustrialização do Brasil?", questiona.  "É uma oportunidade única que o Brasil está tendo e precisa aproveitar", conclui.

The use of hydrogen as part of our future energy mix has been debated for several years. For it to have any future, in a decarbonised economy, hydrogen must come in its “green” guise—produced using renewables-powered electrolysis. While there has been a lot of noise, investment and even some pilot projects launched, green hydrogen's role in a decarbonised economy of the future has yet to be truly defined and it is a topic that creates strong views. In this week's episode, the team is joined by Gniewomir Flis from Energy Revolution Ventures who has previously worked alongside Michaela as project manager for Hydrogen at Agora Energiewende. In our discussion, we examine what is behind the hype that surrounds green hydrogen, its future in the energy landscape and what it means for the renewables sector.

In this special end of year episode, hosts Ben Backwell and Stewart Mullin reflect on some of the key events of 2020 and how they impacted the global offshore wind sector, and what the industry can look forward to in 2021 to support governments across the world to meet their decarbonisation goals. Find out more about GWEC: www.gwec.netFind out more about MHI Vestas: https://www.mhivestasoffshore.com/

As offshore wind continues to accelerate growth into new markets, the industry must keep looking to the future and anticipate growth to avoid any potential bottlenecks and be able to fulfil a growing demand for offshore wind. One potential bottleneck which could slow offshore wind installations is the availability of vessels. Fit-for-purpose vessels are critical for offshore wind farm installation and operations, and are key to enhance safety, efficiency and sustainability of projects. In this episode of The Offshore Wind Podcast, hosts Ben and Stewart are joined by guest Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler, to discuss how vessels have evolved to improve the logistics of installing an offshore wind farm, and how we can prepare ourselves now to ensure we have the vessels in place to meet future demand. Find out more about GWEC: www.gwec.netFind out more about MHI Vestas: https://www.mhivestasoffshore.com/

The offshore wind sector is growing exponentially, with over 205 GW of new  offshore wind capacity forecasted to be installed by the end of this decade. But, we  need to make sure that there is a workforce in place, especially in emerging  markets, in order to deliver this capacity and deliver on offshore wind's incredible  potential. Skills, safety, and diversity are three key factors that need to be  considered in order to ensure the health and safety of workers, secure the long-term  sustainability of the sector, create thousands of local jobs, and inclusively power the  global energy transition so it benefits citizens across the globe.In this episode, hosts Ben Backwell and Stewart Mullin are joined by Joyce Lee, Policy & Operations Director, GWEC and Coordinator of the Women  in Wind Global Leadership Program, and Charles Battersby, Senior Consultant at Procorre to discuss skills, safety, and diversity as the three key factors that must be considered for building a strong offshore wind workforce.Find out more about GWEC: https://gwec.netFind out more about MHI Vestas: https://www.mhivestasoffshore.com/

The offshore wind industry is a major contributor to economic growth in coastal areas, bringing in investment to revive critical infrastructure such as ports and creating thousands of jobs in the community.  However, there are many different stakeholders that are also part of coastal economies, such as fisheries, and it is crucial that offshore wind engages and works together with these stakeholders to benefit the wider community.  In this episode, hosts Ben Backwell and Stewart Mullin are joined by Benj Sykes, Vice President, UK Offshore and Head of UK Market Development, Consenting & External Affairs at Ørsted to discuss how the offshore industry can reinvigorate coastal communities and support development of state-of-the-art ports to create even more economic opportunities.Find out more about GWEC: https://gwec.netFind out more about MHI Vestas: https://www.mhivestasoffshore.com/

Floating offshore wind has the potential to increase offshore wind resource by a factor of ten, and is set to play and increasingly relevant role in the global energy mix. As of the end of 2019, 65.7 MW of floating offshore wind capacity was installed globally, with up to 19GW forecasted to be installed by 2030. In this episode of The Offshore Wind Podcast, hosts Ben Backwell and Stewart Mullin are joined by the Chair of GWEC's Floating Offshore Wind Task Force and industry pioneer Henrik Stiesdal, to discuss technology innovation in this growing sector, and the way forward to drive cost reduction and position floating offshore wind as a key enabler of decarbonisation and industry growth across the world. Find out more about GWEC: https://gwec.netFind out more about MHI Vestas: https://www.mhivestasoffshore.com/

Offshore wind turbines have come a long way since the first project was installed in 1991. One of the main reasons that the offshore wind industry has been so successful is thanks to technology innovation, which has helped to reduce costs and open new doors for the sector. Offshore wind turbines have become bigger and better at a rapid pace, with innovation driven primarily with the objective of lowering the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). In this episode of The Offshore Wind Podcast, Ben and Stewart are joined by Torben Larsen, CTO of MHI Vestas, to discuss recent innovations in the offshore wind industry, technology trends we are seeing now and into the future, as well as how offshore wind is coupling with other sectors such as Power-to-X and utilities to power a clean energy future.Find out more about GWEC: https://gwec.netFind out more about MHI Vestas: https://www.mhivestasoffshore.com/

As offshore wind grows in scale as a power generation source, so does the need for large-scale interconnection between wind farms across different national boundaries. Energy islands, large-scale energy hubs with interconnections to surrounding countries, provide an innovative solution to this challenge. In this episode, hosts Ben Backwell and Stewart Mullin speak with Hanne Storm Edlefsen, Area manager in Energinet Electrical System Responsibility at Energinet, about the challenges and opportunities for this technology around the world.Find out more about GWEC: https://gwec.netFind out more about MHI Vestas: https://www.mhivestasoffshore.com/

China has quickly become the global new leader in offshore wind, and this trend is set to continue as we will see an installation rush over the next year as developers look to have their offshore projects connected to the grid before the subsidy expires after 2021. Hosts Ben and Stewart are joined by GWEC's Strategy Director Feng Zhao and the CEO of Azure International Hubert Beaumont to discuss how China has achieved this impressive growth, what makes the Chinese offshore industry different from other markets, and what to expect post-2021.To contact our guests:Hubert Beaumonthubert.beaumont@azure-international.com Feng Zhaofeng.zhao@gwec.net

Asia is set to become the new global leader in offshore wind, with China leading the way. But what other markets in the region are driving this growth?In the latest episode of The Offshore Wind Podcast, hosts Ben Backwell and Stewart Mullin are joined by GWEC's Asia Director Liming Qiao to discuss the challenges and opportunities in Asia's emerging offshore wind markets including Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and other markets with high potential to harness the power of offshore wind. From policy, to regional cooperation, to supply chain and how countries in the region are moving away from coal, this episode will cover everything you need to know about what's next for Asia's emering offshore wind market and how we can further accelerate the energy transition in the region.
